the brake shoes are probably real tight on the drums keeping the drum from coming off, look either on the backing plate behind the brakes or possibly on front of the drum on that model you will see 2 oval slots that should have rubber plugs in them, take the plugs out and look inside and you will see a gear wheel and a bar that rests on the gear, get 2 screwdrivers and push the bar out of the way as you turn that gear downward with the other screwdriver, this backs the brake shoes away from the drum so you will be able to pull the drum off, keep turning the gear until the drum can be pulled off.
