Make sure your parking brake isn't on. That's what my problem was when I was having trouble.

It isn't on.

Should I use a pry bar behind the drum?

What size screws should I use to back the drum off (there are those two holes around the centerbore)?

I was able to get it -- thank you for the illustration, though.

Always bothered me,too. Now, when you form gutter and window trim material in a sheet metal brake, are you braking it or breaking it?

Hornet, where are you getting the shop manual illustrations from? I have seen several of these here and wonder where the online manual is.

Using a 12mm screw in those holes in the drums (not the stud holes) helped me get the drums off, btw.
