46 model 18 front drum removal ?

Forums

Evening gents,

I am currently disassembling my wheels for a rebuild and I am having trouble removing the front brake drum after removing the three barrel nuts. Is there a special removal for this or is it just needing some persuasion from a rubber mallet? The manual says nill!   

Thanks.

Presumably the faces are stuck with paint or old grease ?

I'd replace the nuts, unscrewed a turn or two and give a sharp tap on the nut heads with a soft drift. Pretty much the old bicycle cotter pin technique.
