will the drum turn freely? or does it feel locked up.

if its the later one make sure the parking brake is disengaged and then take a rubber plug out of the inspection ports and loosen the star wheel assembly.

if its the first one where the drum turns freely then heat it up with a torch and hit it with a hammer till itfalls off.
