>> So, anyone have any suggestions on how to get a drum off that's stuck to
>> the hub/axle? ""

Try to hit the edge of the drum from behind, driving it out toward you.� Don't get too carried away banging on the side of the drum or you may bend it.� Ask me how I know ;->.� Once the drum is off I suggest drilling and tapping two new 11 mm holes in the face of the drum.� Next time you need to remove the drum simply remove the 11mm bolts that secure the drum to the hub and thread them into the new holes.� As you tighten the bolts down they will push on the hub and pop the drum off.� Slick trick somebody posted on the list eons ago.
