Can you believe that on a car THIS RUSTY that this is all it took to get it off? Me neither. An impact gun that barely has enough torque to cinch up lug bolts properly.
Hard to complain about something being easy for once, though!!!
Though I'm sure the reason is someone messing with it long ago and not putting it back properly.

I've never had to use heat to get the drums off. Just beat on dog bone portion of the puller like it owes you money. This both tightens the screw and also shocks everything. If it's not working, get a bigger hammer.
I beat on the '52 for over an hour until my arm was sore. Heat was the only thing that ended up working for me. But I didn't have that problem on my dad's '38, and my '54 came off without too much of a fight. Corrosion maybe?
