I spent a good chunk of the weekend trying to pull off the drums so I could install new wheel cylinders--they didn't budge, and that was after the attempts of four people, two different pullers, a torch, lots of PB blaster, and two dogs (they just watched). Looking over some old info. and articles late at night, I realized that others recommend the specific puller made for old Volvos, not the "spider" or two-pronged pullers I tried. Will it really make a difference on these very rusty drums that haven't been removed in 12 yrs or so on a car that's been outside just as long? And if so, where can I get one? Tried calling a big parts supplier and they had no concrete suggestions. And if I do get my hands on one, is there anything I'm missing in technique or tips, aside from lots of banging, heating lightly with a torch and banging again, and PB blaster sprayed generously around the threaded center? Thanks, hfav
