Yes there is. Bang them good and hard at different points on the outer diameter with a heavy mallet or a block of wood/ heavy hammer. But don't hit them directly with a steel hammer or they'll crack or break.

What kind of rear brakes are in a 1995 mercury sable disc or drum?
The rear brakes should be drums. If you're the original owner and sprung for 4 wheel ABS, they could be discs, but a quick look behind the wheel should help. If you see a shiny surface and a caliper on one side, they're discs. If you don't, they're drums. You should be able to locate parts for them fairly easily. Keep in mind that the Taurus and Sable are the same chassis.

Is there a trick for removing the rear drums on a Mercury Sable - Taurus?
There should be two holes with threads in between the wheel studs (1.25 mm x 8 mm) and all you do is screw bolts in even until drum comes free from hub also some penetrating oil ( wd 40 ) would help unless drum is stuck from the brake shoes wearing a groove in witch case you will need to back the adjuster off hope this helps.As is with any car, they are sometimes tough. If you cannot slack the adjusters, then with a 5 lb hammer, bang the drum on the sides and the flat side in front of you, trying to turn the drum at the same time. Might take some time.Take wheel off then u usually have to hit the drum with a hammer and it should slide right off.
