are you sure they studs are not staked?
you can have the studs pressed out, or you can probably knock them out yourself.

Support the drum on two pieces of 2x4 at the outer edge, screw the wheel studs on about 3/4's of the way and tap them with a hammer.
Good luck dave s

If your replacing with a new drum, just use a press to seperate them. This will bend the center of the old drum, but wouldn' matter if replacing with a new drum.

You could also try heating the drum center and then the BFH.

For one that is really hard to remove the quickest way I know of is to use a torch and heat up the area between the studs.Do it quick so any grease inside the hub doesn't burn.

stuck

I used a big three prong puller. Mount the puller, screw the stud in until you see the hub flex about 1/16 - 1/8 inch then using a pall peen hammer tap aroung the hub between the lug nuts. This worked for two of mine that were stuck. If you don't have a puller that big some auto parts store will rent them out for a day or two.
