Brake drum wont come off.
I got one rear drum off of my 64. It took a half hour of beating it tho. The other one is stuck. The shoes are backed off. Could I heat the drum near the axil with a small propane torch and loosen it up?

Re: Brake drum wont come off.
chances are that if its not comming off the drum is messed up and has a lip and the shoes are holding on the lip so crack it and it will come off

Double check that your emergency brake is off.

Re: Brake drum wont come off.
a 3lb steel hammer with a couple blows on the outward rim (not by the backing plate) of the drum will spring it

Re: Brake drum wont come off.
I got one drum off, but it did not want to go back on. The big hole that goes over the axle was to small, so I took a round file and went around the hole in the drum. I went in a circular rotation just enough to get it to go on. The drums are cheap ones. I believe that is why they don't want to come off. There was no rust around the area. I will tackle the other on later.
