Bill May is the one I learned the trick from about the wax.  It's the same 
wax used in canning jellies and jams.  You seal the jelly or jam with wax on 
top so some grocery stores may have it but otherwise you gotta locate a 
place that deals with canning supplies...which is kind of a relic from a 
bygone era.  The trick is to use the heat from an oxy acetylene torch 
because propane is not hot enough to do the deed.

A wheel puller that pulls on the lug holes is your best bet.  they are hard 
to find but it's a worthy tool to have.  I don't know if there is a way to 
completely immerse the rear drum in pentrant but that would be a step in the 
right direction.  A bigger hammer helps too but whatever you do don't hit on 
the end of the stub shaft and booger up the threads...that's an even harder 
problem to fix.  Keep at it...we've all got tales of woe where we had to 
work sometimes for weeks to get rusted parts freed up.  It's part of the 
job...
