Yes those drums are a bitch to get off! If you look closely, there are 2 threaded holes in the drum. you have to get 2 bolts that fit those threads and just thread in the bolts to pop off the drum. The bolts will push on the metal wheel hub behind the drum, in turn pulling off the drum..Hope this helps..

just put a block of wood against them and hit 'em with a hammer. that usually knocks it loose.

just thread 1 10mm bolt in there. It'll pop it right out, well you'll hear a pop when it comes out. Why you taking off the drum? The rear shoes hardly get worn? Unless your doing brake conversion :P

I painted my drums a few months ago. I could get the suckers off either because I had my E-brake up. Doh!!!!!
drop the ebrake and they will come right of with a good smack!
