Rob your old school. did you ever drill the drum around a stud to get it off? I never had, just a BFH! with a lug upside down on the stud and drive it out in one blow. There I said it late the hate begin!
Yup, I've done a LOT of them. I found a 5/8 metal cutting hole is DEAD perfect. Cut all the way THROUGH the drum and just scratch the surface of the hub. The drum will fall off.
