Front drum seized tight

[raveboy]

Hi guys , trying to get one of the front drums off to clean and service the drums and shoes, but its stuck fast. Cant even rotate it to adjust the star washers. Hes been sat for nearly 3 years so not surprisingly they are seized in. Any ideas on how to free them off short of knocking 7 hells of s"@t out if them ? .
Cheers

Give it a tap while trying to rotate the drum with a bar through a couple of wheel nuts.

It's off at last. Need opposing lump hammer hits from the rear to slide it off the shoes which were corroded onto the drum. 1 man day ! 3 to go
