I think you need lots of heat unless there was a way to thoroughly soak the whole drum in penetrating oil. I don't think there is any way to remove the whole axle with the drum seized. You might have to replace bearings and seals. Not sure but you need to heat up the entire brake drum so it expands enough to break the rust loose. You may even have to break the drum. The only other thing you could try is to put a bunch of weight in the truck and tow it to see if the drum might break free after spraying generous amounts of penetrating oil, if you can get it behind the drum so it can try to soak in. Maybe someone has a different suggestion? But I think it will need heat. Good luck Dave
