How to remove rear brake drum. Help Please!
I am trying to remove my rear brake drum to replace a wheel stud but I cant get it off. Ive used plenty of WD40 because I dont have my pbblaster. Ive beat the s*** out of it with a hammer and it still wont budge. Is there any special tool I need or method.

Does it move at all, or is it still seized on the axle shaft?
If it isn't moving, you need to take a BFH and hit it on the face of the drum between the lugs, alternating around the drum. Beating the drum from behind isn't doing you any favors.
If it's moving a little, it's hung up on the shoes. You can remove the adjuster plug on the backing plate and use a screw driver to spin the star adjuster to loosen the shoes.
