If they are stubborn, give them a sharp rap with a hammer. Once these are out, and if the drum doesn't come off, and you don't have access to a torch, there is a trick to breaking them loose. With both wheels off the ground, start the engine, put the tranny in first gear, let the clutch out, give it a little gas, then give a quick stab at the brakes. One side or the other will break loose from the hub. Now start a couple lug bolts in the side that is loose, and repeat the procedure for the other side. Now both drums have the rust broke loose. and should come right off.
