you can
get some heat to the drum ( the area around the spline ) you need a oxy set for this as you need to get the heat in fast .be sure not to get the
direct heat to the axel as this will change the state if the matirial .
If you dont have * heat * you need to soak the thing in crc or what ever you have .
I have before smashed the drum off then ran a grinder along the axel then hit with a hammer and in fell off .

Fixed It
Well...
What an Ordeal... Many hours, One Blown Angle Grinder and a Broken Hammer later I have freed the Brake From from the
the Axle...
So It took...
Tools- 1 Angle Grinder (maby 2 If your a Little impaitient) + Cutting Wheels
-Decent Hammer
-Chisel, Not a Big one I found Smaller was better, It is the angle of it that counts... Not a Thin one, One that is sharp but then becomes quite
Obtuse
- A Few Blocks of wood
- And a Steady hand...
So, Die Brake Drum DIE....
Cut with the Angle Grinder from one Wheel Bolt hole to the next, this will rid you of the bulk of the Drum..
Your left with a Square-ish block looking thing on your Axle..
It has 4 sides so! put a block of wood under it this will keep it steady.. Using the Blade of the angle grinder CUT along the middle of one of the
flat sides Parralell to the axle (At Right angles to the Square face you Cut previous)..
through the remaining metal of the brake drum As close to the axle as you dare (there ended up being a few nics in mine) you may even need to
sacrifice the outa oil seal thing to.. So once you have cut as far along and as deep as you dare use the Chisel where the metal if thickest (Where you
cut away the drum) the Chisle wil be like a splitter and force the gap apart with a few good Whacks from the Hammer. (A similar cut on the Opposite
side to the one your splitting will help However it took a cut on each side and the chisel to get in the end 4 sections off...
