I have spent a couple hours beating on the drum, trying to pry it, I have heated it up, sprayed penetrate you name is and it will still not come off. The only thing I can think of is the pads have worn into the drum so far that they wont release far enough to remove the drum. Is there any way to back the brakes off with the drum on?

Hi:
You can get to the self adjuster from the backing plate. There should be a rubber plug covering the access hole. Just pop out the plug and you'll see the self adjuster.

Let me know if you run into trouble.
