The last drum is off. Used a pry bar and mallet to loosen it then worked it off.
The G clamp deal didn't work, so I used my air hammer for the front studs which worked, but had to go old school (redneck) style on the rears. Put the lugnuts back on and went after it with the BFH. They're all out now. I'll get new lug nuts when I get the new studs anyway.
Started removing the shocks. Got the lower bolt out, but the upper shock mount is torture with tubular headers. Managed to get a wrench on the nut and get them off but I lost a nut someplace in the frame. I got too hot trying to pull the upper shock bolt out so I left it hanging for now. I'll grab the head of the bolt with locking pliers to give me some leverage tomorrow.
I'll replace the shock nuts and bolts as they're corroded a little. No idea how I'll get the nut back on the upper bolt though ...
