Are there any manual adjusters on these drums,like on a car? it may be possible to back off the tension on the shoes to clear the drum, after a few years of use, you may have a lip on the drum bell, and the shoe is catching on it. The back brake should have an external adjuster on a threaded bar to loosen it up, but you will still need a couple of big screwdrivers,one on each side, to pry on the drum,rocking it back and forth until you get is loose. They can really get seized on, and be a bear to get loose, so keep at it, and don't go hog wild and break a chunk off !!!!
