I just finished pulling the rear brake drums from my 115C using a drum/hub puller like in the photo. It may take some hammering to get the drum to break loose from the axle, but it will come. Many folks also hammer on the end of the puller to exert some force to help break the drum loose. I do not recommend doing this as it can damage the wheel bearings. I just posted the bearing and seal numbers on the X-Ref section. Look under 115C. The seals should be easy to source locally, and maybe so the bearings. Good luck.
