<VV> Rusted Brake Drum

[Brandes, Guy]

Lots of PB Blaster and then heat (with out setting everything on fire).
WD_40 really doesn't cut it.

I pulled a LM car from the woods (after cutting down trees around it) - 
trying to save as much as I can for rebuilding.  Brake drums are rusted 
tight.  I was able to get one off and loose but of course, I broke the
rim 
pounding on it.  I was able to put the lug nuts on and with a pipe
wedged 
between the lug nuts, I turned the axle.  That broke the rust enough for
me 
to get it off.

Pounded on the outer rim and pounded on the face.

The other one is also broken already, but it's still stuck tight.  Pipe
just 
bends the lug nuts.  Tranny's in neutral.

Heat?  Penetrant?  WD-40?  Break the rest of the drum apart where the
shoes 
fit?  Other suggestions?
