I swear my truck must have sat in some water for a long period of time..... I'm redoing the brakes for the rear axle and can't get the drum off. It looks like its moving on the studs slighty, but must be rusted onto the axle. I'm squirting PB blaster, prying it with 2 bars and banging it with the hammer, any suggestions before I light the torch? I'd like to not spend the $35 on a new drum if possible. Any input is much obliged.
