Subject:Removing rear drums: review

Hi all,

We went over this not too long ago, but my short term memory being
what it is...

I tried the hammering technique again to get the drum off the back
of my '87 today.  I hammered about 300-400 times in total, between
the studs.  Nothing budged.  In my frustration, I also put the lug
nuts on and hammered on them a bit.  They studs moved inward!
Nothing else moved though, and the studs pulled themselves back
out when I put the wheel back on.

If I'm going to take the whole assembly off, I need a 46mm
wrench and a puller, right?  I loosen the big-ass nut, then put
the puller on so it pulls on the wheel studs and pushes on
the centre of the stub axle?

Do I need any other special tools?  What size breaker bar do I
need fo the 46mm wrench?

Happy vanning,
