VW removing seized brakes

Watch as I remove the seized drum and disc brakes from an old volkswagen bus.

Continuing with the restoration of our 1971 VW bay window. We want to be able to push the van around the garage and it'll need a full brake rebuild in the near future. Unsurprisingly, after sitting motionless for the best part of 30 years, nothing wants to move. So let's have a go at removing the old seized brake components.

Can we pull it off?

Note: Before resorting to the hub puller, we did try backing off the star adjusters on the rear drums. Unfortunately, they were just as badly rusted/seized as everything else.
