Hi Volks,
    Take it from an old fart, this works very well, piece of cake, honest.
Use your largest punch / drift pin and about a 2 pound hammer. Tap the drum
smartly with the drift and hammer in a circular pattern around the perimeter
of the lug bolts. About 3 good pops and it will pop off the hub. I learned
this from an old truck mechanic in the 50s. I had little faith just as most
of you, but this knowledge has served me well with never a problem with
brake drums since.
Darrell
