The best way to remove these is with an impact driver (the one you hit with
a hammer). The screws only hold the drum whilst you get the wheel back on!

wheel. I have a spare cylinder and I wanted to change it last week end.

screws holding the drum are stuck !!

biggest screwdriver.

the screw and once the drum is off I would remove the rest of the screws and
replace them (or not, are they really usefull ?)
