puller for rear drum?

there is no access at center of drum to a stationary portion of the hub to use a traditional puller. I am also used to seeing threaded holes left in the drum adjacent to the hub so bolts can be inserted to push the drum off but don't see anything like that.

jaws that I have for slide hammer pullers are not large enough.

what is usual expereince practice here. hit the drum with hammer hoping to loosen enough for hand removal or what do you pry/push against.

thanks

thanks all for replies.

maybe i missed 'em. i was purposefully looking for them but they could have been full of junk and corrosion and looked the same as the drum surface (and the murphy in me might have had a confirmation bias as to the notion that no such means were provided.

I could also potentially find a bigger set of puller jaws for a slide hammer together with heat etc.

and @mr_guy_mann "Assuming that your drums are seized to the hubs (and not hanging up on the shoes)". I just noticed that they didn't exhibit the least bit of movement upon mild percussive treatment. I tend to expect it is usually some of both. i can't remember every pull drums that didn't hang up on the shoes, but that happens after you start to move the drum off and the ridge at the outer edge of the drum starts to contact the shoes.

thanks again, and off to get some heat and tooling and try harder.
