Auburn 8-100 brakes

Ok folks, I have a wire wheel 8-100, whose rear brake drums are reluctant to come off, or I don't know the combination! The wheels and axle nuts are off, and I have tried a gear puller. Rust is not a factor that I can tell. Do I need to mumble the proper incantation or? <img…

Well, if anybody cares, I finally got the drums off with a Posi-Lock 10 ton gear puller. I used a friend, a 3 foot cheater, and a 3/4 drive breaker bar. We put the nut back on loose with a large washer behind it, and we started cranking....and cranking....then we cranked some more. Finally it popped, sounding like a 45 being fired. That Posi-Lock wasn't cheap, but it did do the job safely.

Well, Glad you solved your problem! Would have given you some advice but since I don't know anything about 8-100 brakes it would have been wrong HA!
