I am changing the rear brakes on my cavalier. For some reason I can't get the drum off. The car has been sitting for a year. We just had a new motor put in it. I don't know if its corroded on there or if there is something special I have to do to get it off. Any advice?

may want to check to see if the park brake is fully released. if it is then the drum is just stuck on, take a rubber mallet and bang it loose
