Default Anyone in the Milwaukee area familir with xB drum brakes?

Okay, I'm trying to put the longer studs on my rear drums that came with my H&R 15mm spacer kit, but I can't get the damn drums off. I've hit them with a rubber mallet, I've pryed with screwdrivers, etc., but I can't get them.

Has anyone ever removed the rear drums on their xb/xa? If so, anyone willing to lend me a hand? I've been at this all day and can't get 'em.

It's a pain in the a$$, when I installed my OTG Shims the drums were rusted to the car, I had to hammer a screwdriver between them, and use lots of WD40.....good luck

Oh, these aren't OTG spacers. These are H&R Spacers that require you to remove the rear drum itself and install longer wheel studs. So far, I'm managed nothing.

Well, I got it. Amazing how much faster the other side goes when you know what you're doing!
