I didn't mean to start another long and nasty thread here, but, I have seen
the rear drum removed from a Vanagon without removing the 500ft/lb nut the
holds the hub on.  This is the way the VW dealer here does it all the time.
 Yesterday I tried removing my drums and there is no way they would come
off.  I removed the two bolts that "hold" it in place but the area around
the hub would not let go.  I tried liquid wrench, wd 40, tapping it with a
hammer - no go... any suggestions here?  I'd like to put new brakes on the
rear before heading to Saskatchewan on the 1st.

Thanks in advance!
