Stuck Drums on 82 pickup?

[750DUCATI]

Have a broken stud and need to remove the rear drums but can't get them off. they are seized to the hub and studs. I have tried to wake with hamers, heat up with torch, put bolts into the drum but they just strip out, I put a bigger hole in one and tried a slid hammer. I was thinking about purchasing a specialty tool but I not sure which one to buy? anybody have a good trick?

Just use a BFH and break the drum into pieces new ones are pretty cheap on Rockauto.com prob cheaper than buying a tool

If you aren't in a hurry I would keep heating with a torch - HOT and using penetrating oil. The expansion and contracting will eventually break things free.

If that doesn't work try welding a couple bolts to it and using a hub puller on a slide hammer. The welding may also help to brake the seizure free.

This is all assuming you have backed the shoes way off so they are not holding the drum on.
