Thanks guys for the information. The hubs are now off.

After the "Dodge Boys" first answer, I just went after the hub with a hammer and a brass drift after I had heated the drum with a torch. The hubs came out with no real problem.

But, I sort of felt dumb when I read about the posts about using the threaded holes and a bolt to push out the hub. I knew this, and if I had tried to get the drum off while it was still on the truck, I would have used the threaded holes. That's pretty much a standard way of doing it on many trucks. But, for some reason, when I put the drum and hub on the ground, I forgot about the holes.

Great to have this site as a backup to the manuals, which I have, somewhere.
