pulling the rear drum off 120-130

You may get lucky and the drum will come off without too much effort, or your experience might be like mine: lots of pounding, banging, cursing, time, frustration, multiple postings here, money spent on TWO different pullers.... If your local parts place rents tools and they have a puller like the one JohnMc posted, give it a try first, but that type didn't do it for me- in fact the puller started to deform and the nuts started pulling through the holes in the puller! Skandix has a puller specifically designed for our drums, which is what I ended up getting. I also got about a four foot piece of heavy angle iron from Ace and drilled it so that it could be bolted across two wheel studs after the puller went on the drum, so I could seriously crank down on the puller with the brake off and the angle iron end against the ground to stop the drum from turning. I had to really hammer down on the puller with a heavy mallet and it finally popped just as I was about to give up (for the third weekend of trying in a row!). When you finally do get your drums off, put a thin coating of anti-sieze on the taper before you put it all back together!
Hopefully you'll have an easier time than I did!
