I am rebuilding a 9" axle and I ran in to truble with the brake drum off. The star wheel is so rusted i can not get it to move with out braking it. I am going to put rotors on it so i do not care if the drums get beat up (not like they will work as is). So i was thinking of just putting a grinder to them were the pads are to pry it off but I do not know if that will work. I am kind of stuck at this point so i was hoping for help from you guys!

 

if you put this in the tech section more people will see it and might have some answers

 

and you would probably bend the backing plate before you move the drum any
