By the way, has anyone had a "REALLY" hard time getting their rear drums off? I rented a jaw type puller from autozone, and made some brackets to attach to the lugs. The brackets I made are about 1/8" to 3/16" thick. Even with those brackets being that thick, they are getting bent by the force of the puller. With all that force the drum doesn't even budge. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If the car is driveable, loosen the axle nuts about 1/8 inch and drive around in figure 8's. If not, loosen the nuts and with the tires on get a few friends to vigorously rock the car side to side. A few figure 8's at slow speed has worked for me in the past on tapered axles.

Good luck!
