Hi

I need some easy tips on how to loosen stuck brakedrum.

Just BANG it REALLY hard with BIG MALLET?

Or is there other way?

My rear brakeshoes are hanging a bit, not enough to make it impossible to turn rearwheel by hand, but enough to make brakedrum to hot to hold finger onto more than 2 seconds, and it smells burnt.

So I need to pull it, clean brakes, do what has to be done, and reassembly. 

But I am facing a brakedrum with nowhere to attach puller.......... And it is firmly stuck. Looks like rust keeping it in place at the axle nut.

What to do? You can save me a trip ($$$$$$$$$$$$$) to garage here.....

Happy driving
