Cant remove rear brake drum from wrangler to change studs!!!?
it isnt a big deal! the drum ishung on the lip around the center. spray some wd40 on the round circle in the center of the drum face and for good measure around the stud holes. you may need to back off the brake shoes if you havent done so. now give a smack on the drum closest to the front edge but on the side. your trying to create a resinating vibration turn the drum a half turn and do the same. my guess is by this moment the drum has popped free though.

They are tough sometimes. Hit it with a hammer several times in between each stud or above the studs and all around. you will see it pop off of the hub a little, then pull it off. Customers get a little anxious when they see me do a brake job and whack it with my 40 oz hammer to get it loose. Trust me, if you are anywhere near accurate with a hammer, you won't hurt anything. If it still won't budge, then on the back of the drum there is a hole for adjustment. Back the shoes off of the inside of the drum since sometimes a big ridge forms inside the drum from years of use.
