Need more help advice and or prayers.....

I can't remove the bearing from the inside of the front axle brake drum...... h*** I can't even find the previous thread to which someone responded with a page copy of the shop manual.

I have washed most of the grease from the cavity..... I have used grade 8 bolts..... but not to the point of breaking a bolt or stripping the thread...... I have used and destroyed a brass punch....... I have reverted to a steel punch and flared the tip slightly from hammering and had to screw the punch out following the thread...... but I have not finished praying yet.....

Wot ham eye du-hing rung!!!!! I really want to remove and properly inspect and clean. When you hit the punch with a hammer it bounces back as if you were hitting a solid massive chunk of steel....... and tried both brake drums...???

Frustrated!!!
