LOL ! .
Brake drums sticking in place (they actually rust) is endemic , not just on Big
'Bolts .
Anyways , remove the wheel and screw the lug nuts back on the threads ,
reversed 180° just until they're flush with the studs then grab your BFH and
*WHACK* the brake drum between the studs ~ the reversed , flush nuts are for
when you miss (you will) and glance off the threaded studs .
The blows you give it , going 'round and 'round between the studs , will both
loosen the rust and help the penetrant to wick it's way in , the harmonic
vibrations assist in this .
Keep at it , sooner or later the drum will come a bit loose and you'll
be able to slide it off .
For those with 6 lugs , Chevs of The 40's in Wa. State has the correct thin
paper gaskets that prevent this .
