Why go through all the trouble and expense when you can get a
used replacement drum from John Fowlie at Big M Auto ? Using a torch will
warp the drum. You're creating a lot of grief when the solution is fairly
simple.

cringe before retreating before these things. Drexel tools and Chinese nut
cutters will not cut these. It will have to be a torch or a machine

Just received a "nut-buster" to try to cut into the lug nuts. No
success at all. The shape of these old wheels make it difficult to get the
device level and even, but it did cut some (at an angle due to the shape of the
wheel), but not enough to break the nut. Good item to have, but not a
solution in this case.
It is going to be either the machine shop, or a couple Forward Lookers have offered a replacement, and I think that is where I am leaning..... Larry

this case only the nut. They cost a bit but it could save you $$ in the
end.
