Richard, one more thing about pulling the brake drums: When re-assemblying (yes, you will get them off), do not lubricate the taper end of the axle or the drum where it fits unto the axle, just make sure these surfaces are clean. This is important. Also, you will need to torque the axle nuts to 200 ft. lbs. Don't forget the cotter pins too.
