Those things can really find a home with a little corrosion. You just need some patience and some good penetrating oil, such as Kroil or PB Blaster. If you have a propane torch, it helps to warm up the axle sleeve to a couple hundred degrees. You may have to repeat for a couple of days.

We used a Makita heat gun on my '65. Took a while, and carefully done, it came out fine. I had Mike at Vintage Brake rivet Ferodo linings on the stock shoes, and arch them properly to fit the drum. I gotta tell you, them things work GOOD!! Since my bike is for riding, it has got to stop.
