I once had to pull the rear drum of a volvo 122 and
ran into the same stuck drum on the tapered axle
issue. I eventually got disgusted, and swapped out
the rear. But, for laziness more than anything else,
I left the drum puller attached onto the offending
drum and torqued down as tight as possible.
A few months later, I fell across the axle in my shop,
drum puller still attached to the stuck drum. I took
my 25 lb sledge (the same one I had been banging on it
with 3 months previous) and with one mighty "WHACK!"
the drum popped right off!
Apparently tapered axle drums are subjust to the same
laws of nature that create diamonds: Pressure, and
Time.
