>I can't get either of the rear brake drums off.

The manual depicts one of those enormous puller-offer things - three or four or five long arms and a threaded rod that fits on the end of the axle to exert pull. I was hoping it could be finessed (read: flogged) off like on The Bozobus, as I'm about to do this to our '90.

Anyone out there with more wisdom on this subject.

I finally got the new rotors out of the box and WOW - that's the thickest rotor I've ever seen. As further evidence that the manufacturer *expects* machining it is engraved in several places with "MINIMUM ROTOR THICKNESS 13mm"
