The shoes are probably extended out against the drums. Try tapping with a hammer all around the outside of the drum to get the shoes to retract. If you can get the drum to wiggle, keep wiggling it until its loose enough to remove. Hope this helps.

First you want to loosen up the cable. Unscrew the wing nut that adjusts the brakes all the way out. Then hit them on the side with a rubber mallet or the {wooden} handle of a hammer.
