Im in theUSA, so Im not familiar twith those cars, but Ill try. Is there a cap in the center of the drum? If so remove it to see if there is a nut holding it on. If not are there 2 phillips screws between the wheel studs? If so remove them and the drum should come off. If neither of those, try striking it with a hammer to jar it free of the hub assembly. Hope this helps, I think I covered all of them

Sounds like it. Try striking the face of the drum (between wheel studs) with a heavy hammer to shock it free
