The key is to heat it, as Craig said, according to Ken's instructions,
around the center of the drum where it contacts the hub.  Then hit it
with a heavy hammer and sizable drift in between the studs.  That will
knock it loose with our distorting or warping the drum.

I always loosen the drums before I take the bus in for inspection,
because my inspection mechanic did warp a drum once.
