ok im taking my rear FF60 apart, taking the drums off the hubs, one side i pound the wheel studs out and the spindle comes out easily, other side i pound the wheel studs out and nothing, it wont budge, i tried prying it, hitting it at all sides with a hammer, is there a trick besides a BFH? is one side held on by something im not seeing? its the passenger side thats stuck. i cant get the drum off the hub. any help would be appreciated, i cant do anything now anyway because everyones asleep:D

I had the same problem with my FF60 when I did the rear disk install. I used my cutting torch to heat up the drum area about 2 inches from the hub. Just ouside the rusty area in the below pic. Then I hit is with a mini sledge hammer and it popped apart.

My hub has recesses between each lug hole so I just stuck a pry bar between the drum and the hub to seperate them.
