I am trying to replace my rear brake shoes on my truck. I took off tire and then beat the drum like a mad man with a hammer to loosen up the dust so drum could come off. It would not come off. Then I got the two bolts and started to try to push drum off using the two bolts. The drum will start to separate itself from the hub/dust plate but on the bottom side it is hung up on something the shoes and everything is pulling with the drum. So I am pretty sure the shoes are stuck to the drum. I tried to use the self adjuster to loosen pads too but that thing will not budge. But there is no pressure to it I removed brake line and the e-brake is not on. I have done extensive research and have not found anything to help me here. I am not an inexperienced person here however I am at a standstill here can anyone please help here? Any suggestions?
