JJ,
  I found that wrapping a tire chain around the drum
and bolting it tight works to get leverage on the
drum.
Apply a pry bar to the chain and with some taping it
will come loose. gary

Standard instructions here:

Remove 2 small bolts holding drum to hub.
Back off adjuster star several turns so drum won't
hang up on shoes.
Smack the flat face of the drum, right at the drum's
circumference.
Use a
small (3 - 5 lb.) hand sledge, work around the
circumference with light
blows, working your way up to harder blows as
necessary.  You won't
hurt the
drum, unless you're Superman.  The rust bond between
the drum and hub
will
eventually break.
