Going thru the rusty lines and brakes on my '51 Chevy 3600 3/4T, awaiting replacement set of SS lines, but one wheel cyclinder seems to be leaking as there is a few streaks of junk on the rim and tire when it sat for a good while. It could be from the end of the axle, but the drum needs to come off. The two little screws holding the drum to the outside axle flang came off with some penetrating oil, and then some propane torch heat and smacking it a good 40 times with a impact tool-thankfully they both came off. But now I cant get the drums to move. When spinning the wheel I could hear the brakes slightly drag, I with a brake adjuster tool, I backed off the brake pad to the most rear off all the way, and now no noise. I did the front pad, kinda guessing if I backed it off entirely. but the drum does not budge with two big screwdrivers put between the drum and the sorta flexible backing plate.
Do I need a puller for this? I have a puller for disc brakes but it's to small as it doesn't go deep enough to get to the back side of the drum
Any ideas or tools that might help, or do I have to buy another puller? Clem
