Brake Drum Removal

Just can't stay away

Hey guys. Sorry if this has been answered, I did a search and didn't see anything. I was wondering how to remove the brake drums on a 54' Clipper? Is it the usual, whacking it until it comes loose or something special? Thanks!

This is how I removed mine.

I went with a five arm puller, read somewhere that is better then the three arm puller.

Good advice provided above. Puller should only be struck in the rotating plane. Do not strike the end of the puller, doing this may cause damage to bearings and center block.
