I put karzapart55 on my ignore list for being flamed, I naturally assumed this person had enough knowledge to pull the wheel of the axel when posting about can't get the drum off, I guess I could be wrong.

drums
dont know if that is a heavy 2500 with floating rear axle ,but try to back the brake shoe adjustment all the way off there is prob a ridge on the inside of the drum from the wear pattern left from the shoe's it get's crusty with rust on the edge and if you get the drum loose some time's the shoe's won't to go past the lip on the drum .
some times the drum will freeze with rust around the pilot that it center's on ,then use some silikroil on t to help loosen it . a drum puller helps to put some pressure on it then tap the hub that the drum center's on and the drum face and it might pop loose !

Funny, "big hammer" would have been my first reply, too.
To address the topic: The reason for a thread title, is to give a
specific name to your issue at hand, not broadcast a vague
wording.
As to drum removal: Hammers work well, generally. Tap hard
without overdoing it to the point you crack or distort the cast iron.
Be sure the emergency brake cable pressure is relieved.
The new disc brakes on the 2500s have an emergency drum
integrally cast inside the rear rotor.
As to posting rude or inflammatory remarks, many of the guys
posting here have professional dealer experience, have saved
other Forum Members hundreds or thousands of dollars, or
run their own shops, and voluntarily post to help us, giving
their time and experience, free, to make everyone's
Chevrolet experience special. They deserve our gratitude.
And the next person who compares a Chevrolet to a ford
is getting banned so hard their great-great-grandchildren
won't be able to post in a forum.--
