Remove the tire and rim first. There is a circular clip on the outside of the drum holding it onto the axle. Remove this clip with a pair of dykes. Back of the brake shoes just a little. Use a small sledge hammer to beat the drum until it's loose.

Block front wheels so the car can't roll. Loosen the rear wheel lugnuts slightly then jack up. Release the handbrake. Remove lugnuts and wheels. Pull off the drums by hand.

Remove the hub cab if any. Remove the tire. If your car has anti-lock breaking remove the speed sensor. Then the drum should come right off.

Start by pulling the wheel and removing the center cap. Then remove the spindle nut and soak the drum face with penetrating lubricant. Then just tap it off.
