<VV> Brake drum removal

[Clark Hartzel]

I use a pair of "hooked" tools to pry the drum loose.  The problem is the
pilot hole is too tight.  These tools look like a screwdriver with the ends
bent into a 90 degree hook.  You drive them into the extra holes in the
drums with a hammer and then pry the two tools apart.  Drums pop right off
the pilot.  Occasionally they will hang up on the shoes but that is a minor
problem.
I would think these hooked tools would be available from auto tool companies
but I have to admit I haven't seen any for sale lately.  Drum brakes are
becoming a thing of the past as most cars are going to disc on all four.
