<HTML>To take the brake drums off of the rear hub, the brake drum bolts are usually peaned over to keep the nuts from backing off. Sounds like your are beyond this point already. The brake drum is centered with a bushing that fits with in the drum, the wheel spokes and the hub. If you can take a driver and drive off the brake drum by reaching through the bolt holts or ? then you shouldn't have any problem. Maybe using a driver on the brake drum between the spokes and alternating from side to side, you can drive the drums off. I have a 1922 735B and I rebuilt all my wheels about 5 years ago. I also did the wheels on our 1916 model 826 more recently and they were assembled differently than the 735 B.</HTML>
