Ensure that the parking brake is released Back off the parking brake adjustment cable
Use a rubber mallet in order to tap gently on the outer rim of the drum and/or around the inner drum diameter by the spindle. Do not use excessive force, which may deform the drum.

Here are videos and a guide to help you see how to do the job on similar vehicles, the process is the same.
