Here is a home made on.  A welding shop could make it up from scrap for cheap.

The other option is to back off the castle nuts a couple turns, put the cotter key back in and drive till you hear them pop loose.

Go to the home page of the POC website you should find a link to Dave Pollack's article about pulling the rear drums.

I followed his advice last Spring with the rear hubs on my '40 P-10 Business coupe, his advice worked fine for me.

Hope this helps,
Bob
