You can try a BFH and bash them apart but if you are keeping the drums this can distort them. But if you get a wild idea about replacing the lugs with replacements (like eliminating the goofy left hand threaded ones) then you either press them out or drill them out.
Resorted to drilling them out after trying to press out with a bench vise.....
