That's a nice write-up Kevin. I have a couple thoughts to share:
- I shock the screws with a brass drift before and after heating them. I think it helps.
- I would recommend shocking the heads of the extraction screws rather than the face of the drum. I would tend to separate the drum from the hub better.
- If you grab the side of the return spring hook with the Vise-Grips you can reinsert the hook easily into the hole in the shoe. I prefer it over the brake tool, which tends to chew holes in the shoes.
