Need Help: F-12 Brake Drum Removal

Posted by Dan Oehmke on April 24, 2005 at 20:09:24 from (69.58.150.202):

Can anybody tell me the trick to removing the brake drums on an F-12? The manual says to "remove them", which is about as helpful as the other common phrase "removal is self-evident. Actually, this looks pretty straight forward, but I'm still sutck.

I have removed the big nut on each shaft. Tried to use two 3/8 bolts in the two holes in the right drum to pull it off the splined shaft, but it won't budge. This one has been outside for sometime without the brake cover. Even broke off a grade 8 bolt and called it a day after getting that out. Can I heat the drum around the splines or will that damage the shaft?
