I cannot pull the drum off . It spins freely. What is holding it?

sounds like a rust ring around the small inner hub area of ur drum try spraying some liquid wrench there letting it soak about 5 mins then take a hammer and hit the towards the edge of the face of the drum hit one side then the other working back and fourth to break it free always worked for me unless the brake shoes have worn a groove into the drums holding them on but thats more on ls saturns.if it moves away from the backing plate but still wont come off then thats what happened.sometimes u really have to hit those drums good though.let me know how it goes.
