Make that a *free* loaner from AutoZone, and if I heard right, Advanced Auto is starting the same program. In a pinch you can improvise by turning the brake drum around and putting it on the hub backwards. Then put the acorn nuts on backwards (flat side inboard) and thread them on barely enough to engage all of the nut thread. Then yank on the brake drum. There is enough slop/travel/gap to give a "hammer" effect. Worked every time for me.
