Exactly, the tapered shaft and the fact that the axle nut is torqued to something like 250 ft. lbs. Do not grease or oil the taper on the axle and in the drum. They go up dry and clean. There have been many discussions about drum removal on this site and you should be able to find those discussions in a search on the subject. A special drum puller is required along with a big hammer/sledge. You'll see it all in the discussions. Good luck and let us know how the job progresses.
