[T2] 71 brake drum removal

[c.dreike]

Sad note:
About 3 hours west of Albuquerque the fan belt broke and we blew the 
engine before we noticed. Lots of smoke. The #4 plug popped out. 
Bearings did not sieze. Couldn't get it started. Ended up with a tow 
into Holbrook AZ, rented a U-Haul rig and trailered it the rest of the 
way home to LA. Drove all night and arrived at 4:45 AM. Good decision as 
we missed a lot of traffic and the desert heat! Now the fun begins, or 
did it already? Anyhow, its the journey that counts.

Cheers,
Chris
