There is a tapped hole on the face of the drum that takes the same thread
screw as the Flat Head Fixing screws. Run a bolt, with suitable thread, in
that hole and it will force the drum off. forceful tapping with a hammer
will aid in removal. If you use a steel hammer, do it judiciously as you
could possibly damage the drum, though I haven't had a problem. Be sure
that the shoes are adjusted all the way off. Counter Clockwise to back off
adjustment when turning the adjusting nuts.
