Help remove rusted drums 87 4R
Hi,
My GF just bought an 87 4Runner from oregon. Basically, the whole thing is rusted. I have replaced most things, but for some reason I really can't get the rear drums off the truck. I have tried the two little holes for an m8 bolt (rusted and stripped), also I cut the backplate with a sawzall and banged on the drum with a 10lb sledge hammer to no avail.
I can't think of any other way to get them off the truck. I have slide hammers as well, but they also don't work. Any suggestions about how to get these rusted things off?!?

Since your backing plates are ruined, I have had luck with getting pry bars on each side or top to bottom and also having some one to tap on the edges with a hammer.
