Can't take off brake drum
I can't seem to pull my brake drum off.
I release the parking brake, and the drum spins freely, so I assume it's not due to the shoes pressing against the drum.
Is there some trick I need to know?

YUP! there is a trick....
there are 2 screw holes in the drum, you need to find a bolt that will fit the threads.
see them there.... well you tighten the bolts in to the drum and they push the drum away from the hub... Do like 3 or 4 turns on each bolt, you dont want the drum to twist and get jamed against the hub.
