Only way to hook a puller to this drum is at the outer edge, which will bend it into uselessness. The problem is rust where the drum inner diameter seats on the axle flange. This is a close fit to properly center the drum over the shoes. If penetrating oil won't loosen it (after wirebrushing the area), use an acetylene torch to heat the drum next to the axle flange so it will expand. The shape of the drum ID is such that it actually seems to bite into the axle when you pry on it.
