Brakes 444-544

Rotate drum as you heat for even heating (you wouln't want to take a chance on warping anything, although if applied evenly, I'm sure the drum can take a lot)...and speaking of which...with everything currently at freezing winter temperatures, and applying heat to the drum to expand it, that's about the best situation for removing that *****, because it gives the parts the biggest temperature differential.

Also (if present...and you can get them to move [see below]) back off adjuster before trying to remove drum .

I'm not intimately familiar with the 544 brakes, but in addition to grinding away the wear lip and anti-seizing tapered shaft, if 544s have an adjuster similar to the 122s (alu housing/steel pistons) a rework with anti-seize is definately called for here also...presuming you EVER sell the car, that kid who owns it in the future will thank you (a lot) for it!

Cheers,
Ron
