	Oh me you have ran into the dreaded brake pin. Brakes have to be apart for the final drive to slip off. Don't torch your brake shoes. Some drill and thread the end of the pin to screw in a bolt to break it loose or attach a puller. Others torch the pin to get it out. I'm sure others will have more in depth ideas.

	Use the fourm search using 'WD45 Brakes.' It will give you more ways and pictures to remove the famous AC brake pin. I used the drill and tap with a piece of pipe a little larger than the 3/4 inch pin with a grade 8 bolt and some big washers. When the bolt hits bottom add a couple of washers and go again. But do the search before you start.
