Had the same problem w/ my 85.  Bent the hell out of a very nice wheel
puller to no avail.  Asked a fellow I know and he recommended only way is to
lay the hub/drum flat on the ground and spot heat around where the hub/drum
meets in 3 or 4 places and give it a sharp whack w/ your biggest whacker.
Did not try this, myself, as my drums are okay.  But it seems to me like it
should otta break the bond between the two.  Heat usually does.  Regards,
