Can you put the wheel on and use that as leaverage to remove the drum?

The inside of the drum will be worn and shoes catching on the lip maybe h/brake lever stuck some, above works for me..

Slacken the handbrake cables (adjuster under car beneath lever) and then release auto adjuster ratchets in the drums. These are accessible through a wheel bolt hole if you revolve the hub - the toothed segment pushes downwards to release the shoes. If in doubt, see manual.

Do not use force on these brakes - there will be a big wear lip on the drum and damage will result if you don't retract the shoes first. The bearing is an easy sliding fit on the stub axle.

Don't forget to use a new hub nut, torqued and staked, followed by a new closure plate.
