To remove a stuck brake drum you will need to use a brake drum puller to get it off. Many auto parts stores have a loaner tool program where you pay a deposit for the tool and get your deposit back when you return it.

How do you remove a rear drum on a 98 Ford Escort?

Sometimes it is a chore. If it is rusted on, you jay have to use heat around the hub. If the shoes have worn groves in it, you have to retract the shoes with the adjusters. If push comes to shove, you just pry them off destroying the springs and retainers. You have to know how they go back on though.

How do you remove the rear drum on a 93 mercury villager?

The drum should come off as soon as the wheel is removed. There is nothing holding the drum in place except the wheel. If it seems stuck the brake shoes have probably worn a groove into it, and you may have to back off the brake adjuster to get it off.
