I know there was a thread on this not long ago, but it didn't address my
problem.

All four drums refuse to come off. All display the same symptoms, which is
that they seem to be hung right at the top. All will wiggle about (some
easier than others) and the rear ones show that they are loose from the
axle.  I pulled the bearings on both front hubs but they won't slide off.

The truck has been sitting a long time. I suspect rust and/or varmints have
been in the brakes. But it seems interesting that they all are stuck at the
top.

I've hammered and pried till I don't dare do it any more for fear of
breaking something. Haven't applied heat due to grease and brake fluid
possibly in the sticking area.

Does anyone know what else I can do?
