I am compiling info for a new SwEm article and although I have seen a lot, I haven't seen it all by any means...so I thought I'd invite everyone to please post their experiences...horror stories (like when the wrong puller cracked the edges off - and still didn't get the drum off, so that you wound up Sawsalling the hub off, and your brake adjustment job turned into a two week $250 nightmare)......funny experiences (like when the neighbors called the cops for "gunshots heard" when the drum finally let go of the axle...at 2AM!)... peak BP and heartrate that you got up to (I think I got up to about 200/140 180BPM more than once when I bend lug studs!)...solutions (driving around with nuts loose for one week before attempting removal, or oxy-acetyline toasting/ice water quenching anyone?)...advice for the newbies (just one word: Air-tools...er...is that one word?)...etc. TIA Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
