I figured out a trick to day on how to get out them tough brake drum screws
1.spray w/ penetrating oil
2.beat w/ 2 lb hammer
3.heat w/propane torch
4.beat again w/ 2lb hammer
5.thread a 3/8 in bolt in hole used to press drum off
6.tighten snug then turn bolt 4-6 rotations
7.back off bolt
8.use a big flathead screwdriver w/ visegrips attached for leverage
and they should come right out
if not try again starting with step 1
and brush lots of antiseize on the screws so you don't need to struggle next time
