spray wd40 where the drum touches the axle, then tap on it with a hammer. There might be an adjuster on the bottom behind the brake drum that can release pressure of the brake shoes also.

Try cutting the retaining pins that hold the shoes in place. Back off the self adjuster with a screw driver. There is a hole behind the dust shield shaped like on oval. hole may have rubber cover over it. Good Luck. If you already have the drum off replace the brake cylinder.

Also, try Liquid Wrench, or another penetrating oil, of that nature..
