This is common. DON'T hammer on anything, that is just hard on
the bearings. Get a propane torch and heat the drum just outside of
the parting line where it meets the hub. Don't heat through the
holes, but it will take a bit of time. Eventually the drum will expand
and break free of the hub. You will HEAR this happen.
Of course you have to remove the 2 small bolts first.
