You should find plenty of threads dealing with this subject.

Were the nuts tight? Hopefully they were. If the nuts were tight do not try to get the drums off without the correct type of puller. Read the other threads. I use a puller sold by Vintage Precision. It has served me well.

Mart.
Vintage Precision has a beautifully machined puller. Unlike searching for an original KR Wilson second hand, this puller comes on the UPS truck and when you hold the components in your hands you know you have an extremely well engineered piece of equipment. I was going through some rusty parts trucks to find good drums and every one of them popped off effortlessly. 'Nuff said. Edit: I think it was about 135.00
