Copy of private message sent to Ron for those who ever encounter a totally miserable Drum removal, or are just interested:

Ron;

I presume you've seen my notes on the subject on the SW-EM page...the next thing I can recommend beyond what you've said you've already done is leaving it under HIGH preload until thermal variations which occur over time pop it off...winter cold or even cooling with liquid nitrogen plus torch heat would give the highest temp delta...the next option is to procure and apply the MASSIVE AND IRRESISTIBLE POWER of a hydraulic Puller shown on the Notes page, which may damage something, but "SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE" and FINALLY, and as a LAST RESORT, if ALL previous attempts fail, cutting it off with a grinder.

Please record you Drum removal actions...they are among the most desperate I've heard of, and your experience and results will surely be added to the Notes article...

I'm sorry for your pain and suffering in this...I feel for you!

Good Luck
