Yeah, I found those dimensions after I posted this. The set of tools I found
was something like $35, and I can't find anyone who has them locally.

What do they do? Put pressure on something and push the drum off? Seems like
an assinine way to secure the drum.

Looks like I'll have to have it towed and will have to grab my ankles when I
pay the bill.

Thanks.

???? All you do is screw two bolts into those holes and it pushes the drum
off the hub. There is no special tool needed other than a couple of 8mm
bolts. Normally a couple of raps with a hammer to the flat surface where
the hub interfaces the drum will get a brake drum loose.
 

?? Most other cars don't have these threaded holes to help get stuck drums
off so it's MUCH harder to deal with. The wheel "secures" the drum to the
hub with the lug nuts. This is how almost every rear drum on any car is
attached.
