Be sure you've released the parking brake and backed off the self-adjusters.

Just joking. Moving along:

If'n ya got a couple of threaded holes in the drum on opposite sides of center and almost as far from center as you'd expect an axle flange to extend, find a couple of longish bolts with the right thread for them. Then just run them in there until they bottom, then tighten equally, just one turn to each side as you alternate between 'em. That'll pop that sucker loose for ya.

You should try getting a 2500 drum off! I actually made large slide hammer to get mine off. Lip on the drum would catch the shoe even with everything backed off.
