My Land-Rover has 11" drum brakes up front, and 10" in rear. Front has them
little screws, back do not. Of course, it is supposed to have 10 inchers all
'round, but someone fitted larger drums up front.
 As for removing those @%#$@&& drums. . .WD 40, tap around the edges with a
hammer, (soft wire-wheel hammer is really good for this), and then pull.
Then PULL. Then PUUULLLL. It works nicely to sort of 'walk' the drum off the
studs. Cursing helps as well. Beer is almost a neccessity.

Michael, New Bern, NC (stoopid drums have to come off after running axle
deep in mud or else).
