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
