You just gotta love this list!  The impact hammer did the trick in just a
couple of whacks.  I found, however, that the one that I purchased had a
tendency to jump out of the "loosening" mode into straight or "tightening".
Gotta watch that.  Still having trouble with the rear brakes.  Gotta hunch
that I may have a warped brake drum, so it's off to the Herald for a brake
drum to try.  I may need some help soon with the goofy 1975 combination
"brake light-oil light" apparatus which is not working and the manuels do
not identify such things as NC or NO.

The previous owner of my spit, (I purchased it a week ago) named it
"Babette".  Not sure what the protocol is in LBC names, but in the marine
world, it is considered bad luck to ever change the name of a vessel.  So,
for at least the time being, Babette it is.

Now off to get a brake drum off of Herald the Herald.
