Re: How do I get these brake drums off?

Rivet heads are gone, but they are still in there flush with the surface of the drum. I took the spindle nut off and the whole thing wont come off, so I figure the shoes are worn into the drums.

I should probably throw it all in the trash and go to the boneyard for a set of replacement a-arms and spindles with 12" rotors.
