This brings up a good point...a PO must have had to
pound the cr*p out of my drums,cracking one(I found out
after I had the drums sandblasted,you couldn't see the
cracks because of the dirt/grease)...would it be a
smart idea to put a small amount of anti-seize on the
hub/axle end to help release the drum the next time
they need removed.

Subject: Re: brake Drum small Screws: How to get them
loose ?
A large offset screwdriver usually works. You must
apply a lot of pressure from behind (pressing towards
the brake drum) while applying the torque. If you do
not have one, you can make one up from a 3/8 ratchet
extension. Grind down the male end into a screwdriver
blade that just fits the screw slot.
Another tool that may work is a hammer impact tool.
Sometimes, you just have to center punch and drill out
the old screw (carefully!).
A tiny dab of anti-sieze on the threads helps out for
next time.
Good Luck!
