EASY OUTS etc...
Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like I have a small welding job ahead of me. Phil, the "twist or easy my a** out" is broken off at a really weird bunch of angles. If welding a nut onto it does not work, I am inclined to grind it down to surface level, center punch it and drill it out with a special bit as suggested.
The good news is that I finally have the brake drums off my HUP. The forward passenger side drum did not want to part company and the puller at the S&P museum did not have long enough reach. Other removal methods were used with no measurable progress. While contemplating what to do next (using a come along ...reffing on it with the tractor) I removed the brake shoe retaining nuts (on the outside rear of the plate) loosened off the wheel cylinder and pushed it through the plate. The hub came off with a few rocking motions...
So, it wasn't all bad news today. Now, time to strip down the front wheel cylinders.
Ever notice that when you have the time for the hobby, y'ain't got the money...and when you do have the money, y'ain't got the time...
