Rusted Rear Brake Drum



The rear brake drum seems to be rusted solid on my son's 78 Matador.  Any tips 
for breaking this loose?  I seem to remember this being discussed before, but 
I couldn't find anything when I tried to search for it.

So far I have backed off the brake shoes, and the drum seems to rotate freely.  
However, when I try to pull it off of the hub there is no movement at all.  I 
verified that the three small screws have already been removed.  I sprayed it 
with some PB Blaster and am letting it soak overnight.  I was going to check 
at the local parts stores to see if I could borrow/rent a drum puller.  

Thanks,


Todd
