interesting, makes me want to find out what i have in my 72.

problem is, i can't get my drums off! they seem to be stuck on. i checked the parking brake, blew some dirt out of the inspection holes, hit them from all directions with a ball peen hammer, still don't want to come off. is there a trick here? maybe someone could just measure the drums so i don't have to measure my pads.
