The drums are a pain, but there is nothing holding them on once the wheel is
off and the one little bolt is removed. You just need to turn-and-tap with
a ballpeen hammer, lightly of course, and get the drum ringing enough to
break it loose from the center hub, where ordinary corrosion can make it
sieze.
Don't try chemicals for obvious reasons, and don't try a soft hammer either
since you'll end up having to whack too hard.
Once the drum has broke loose from the hub, you still might have some
trouble getting it past the shoes, so make sure you back off the starwheel
adjustment, thereby retracting the shoes from their usual almost-dragging
position.

Subject: [ev_update] How do you get the rear brakedrums off?

I changed the front brake pads with no problem.
Now I need to change the shoes on the back, but can't get the drums off!
This is on a '93 EV GL
TIA, Bruce
