A blow torch set with a long flame till they are red , then the chisel works well. The screws will take a little searching at a "Better" hardware store (older the better) But when you get them buy some extra's.
If you remove the drum, make sure you put it back on in the same position, I.E Same wheel, etc. It's best not to remove it at all unless turning the drum, and even then, take it to a truck brake shop and "LEAVE THE HUB ON" to turn ON the hub. This way you have all the runnout in the hub and the drum removed for an even/smooth stop when the pads hit the drum.

Best bet ;) is to convert to Ray's disc's, then save the old drums for posterity. Regards WAW
