If you can't cut it off use a large ballpeen hammer and hammer around 
the drum to loosen it on the hub and use lots of penetrating oil at the 
axle hub and lug bolts That is where it is most likely stuck use some 
Big pry bars to pry on the back side of the drum wile harming on the 
drum and the axle hub caution is used when hammering on the axle hub you 
don't want to swell it up. If that don't work
Cut it off with a 4" grinder the drum probably is not any good anyway 
and the brake hardware wont be in the best of shape either just be 
careful  with the backing plate and axle hub.
