Brake Drum Removal Attempt:
Initial attempts to pull the wheels failed because the brake drums were corroded to the brake pads due to standing water in the drums.
An attempt was then made to seperate the steel wheels from their drums by loosening the bolts that held the drums to the wheels. Despite long heating with an acetylene torch seen in these images, the bolts could not be extracted.
Throughout the disassembly for restoration it was necessary to loosen corroded bolts. The method of repeatedly heating to a red glow followed by chilling with water and then applications of a penetrant was found to be effective.
