No, do not remove the big nut...it will not help.

Take a good sized sledge hammer...3 lb or so...and basically beat the heck out of the drum.  Pound ii in the flat areas between each of the lugs.  And then keep pounding...and then some more.  You will see it start to loosen and finally it will come off.

You will also have to back off the self adjusters through the hole in the backing plate.

How do I pull the rear drums? Tried tapping (OK, hammering) from
all sides to no avail. I don't have to remove that huge 462mm nut
just to get the drums off, do I?
