I am going to presume you have adjusted the brakes in to make the drum loose enough to come off. If you have done that and they are still stuck because they were rusted to the drum, you can try hitting the drum carefully to break the shoes loose. Tried that too, huh? Now you have to unblot everything but there is no guarantee that will work either. I had the same situation on a set of front spindles but the advantage was that they were off of the car.

Good luck!
