I'm having a hard time getting the rear drums off the hubs. I've tried wd 40, heat and still no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks

If backing the adjuster off doesn't do it, Remove the outter bearing and put the tire back on, pull while shaking back and forth!

You do not want to! Even if you are replaceing the drum, buy one that is put together! Or you'll regret it!
