There should be threaded holes in the drum to run bolts into and help you pop it off.

yes there are bolt holes in the outside portion of the drums, dont get too crazy screwing those bolts in, 1/4 turn at a time then wiggle the drumb,repeat as nessisary, as its not fun breaking the bolt off in the drums...

Also, make sure you fully release the parking brake.

And back off the star adjusters so the shoes aren't locked in by the ridge of the hub.
