    Also throw some wd40 in the hub part and hammer it a couple of times. If that fails get yourself a couple of screws that fit in the two threaded holes. They are there for this reason to screw the drum off.

    Cool, and this is my own tip that I learned the hard way. You know the bolt that you use to hold down the donut spare tire in the car? Well that bolt has a handle and the size of it fits perfect in the drum holds. Just stick in there and screw it a little at a tine with a plier alternating sides. It should come off like butter. And also make sure you don't have your parking brake on. If so they will never come off!

    Laz thatnks! That was the trick! I am going to make an article about this. :) (my bud and I took pictures) The rims look like hell right now, but the extra grip is sooooo nice. :)

    Thanks guys!
