What Bill said, take the hubs and drums off as a unit, 1000% easier. Then seperate them on the floor. I have a broken rear axle that I cot off about 8" long, turn it around, put the studs through the holes and whack it with a 3 pound hammer. (after taking those 3 screws out) The 3 screws will come out with a drag link socket, essentially a socket with a large screwdriver blade. You will need to grind the bit to fit. I use my air impact wrench, and ease in really slowand they usually come out. Sometimes heat is needed, but I try the impact first. I have a quart mason jar full of the screws, and maybe 1/5 of them needed heat.
Good luck,
Tim
