This has been addressed a million times. And yet here I am. About a year ago I purchased a "doodlebug". As you can imagine this probably hasn't had an easy life. When I got it it had barely any front brakes and had no backing plates in the rear. I swapped in a new rear axle and brakes. And am trying to fix up the fronts. But I can't get the drums off. I loosened the adjuster on both wheels and the wheels spin freely. Removed the hub nuts and washers and those drums won't budge. I tried heating them gingerly tapping on them with a hammer and wooden board. Is there any more radical way to get these off? I couldn't get my brothers puller to do the job either.
