:::::actually from David at sun. pull the two 10 mm bolts and bang the hell out of them with either a rubber malley or (better) a 2 lb steel hammer with a piece of sacrificial lumber (2X4 works well) in between. If you can, back off the adjusters as far as possible (my guess is if the drums are stuck so are the adjusters, however :-(
----- End Included Message ----- No, use a gear puller to pull it off. This is what the Bently manual sez for my 84 vanagon. A cheap $5 pulled did it for me. Thread the bolts back in and pull from the bolts. Go to a public library and look for a Bently vanagon manual. It has apicture of a drum being pulled by a puller. Well, the puleer on the picturer is not a cheap one. But, I know you quys can counterfeit one for $5 and it does work. Good luck. David
