I have a brake drum stuck on the axle right now on a 250ES rear end , trying to rig up a puller to grab the holes in the drum , it is almost there , little more grinding on the arms of the puller , but I doubt it will work before breaking the drum , I have in the past used a torch and melted the cast part of the drum and cut the metal inner spline collar and got them off with out damaging the axle , but I feel that when you put heat to it then you are transferring heat to the axle and changing the hardness of the axle , and I have had trouble with the axle hub splines wearing out and wonder if that is one of the axles that I cut the drum off of
