Re: Brake drum stuck to axle

I've used a pneumatic hammer with a 1" round head to remove drums from spindles. I would think, in this case, that combined with the specified puller and an occasional squirt of penetrating oil would help in removing the drum a little quicker. I apply the penetrating oil first, use the air hammer to help set a vibration into the stuck parts. Everyone has a favorite penetrant, and I nearly always use PB Blaster. Stinks to me, but hasn't failed yet.

Knowing what a bear it will likely be to remove the drums on my decrepit ride, I think I'll have to buy that puller sooner than later.

Good luck with the drum.

Warm regards!
