I have a 2004 Pontiac Vibe. I am unable to remove the rear brake brums on both sides. I have lubricated them, gently pried them and tapped them with a rbber mallet. None of this has worked, What do you suggest?

hit it with a metal hammer, dont be messing around with rubber hammers, hit the inside by the lug nuts to break the rust free.
