ive always used a plumbers torch (propane) and heated it up good and with a good smack of the hammer ... but be careful with the smack part, drums do break, but they take alot too ...

leave it on it for 5-10 minutes in a good spot. have a smoke, give it a hit ... should come off ...

i had front drums seized on an early bronco, left the torch on each one a good half hour and smacking it with a sledge thinking they wouldnt come off, but heat does wonders and once it breaks,

its cake walk ...
