Be careful of heat. Not on drum only on hub. And you are sure the shoes are not binding on the drum?

No that extractor is the wrong kind it will damage the axle shaft. You need the one you were using before.

See this extractor the handle part is called the dog bone you hit that with a small sledge hammer. And you hit it hard this is what breaks the drum free from the axle.

The puller you show in the pic will not work.

I have done many many Hudsons this way. See the way he has put the nut back on because when you hit hard the drum can release quick and hit you. But you hit hard the dog bone with hammer it will come off.
