Heat it up, big fuckin hammer. Or cut it off and put discs on.

A slide bar hammer will work wonders on it, also soak it around the hub and lugs with PB blaster or WD40 for a while.

i don't know about all years, but on mine there's 2 threaded holes on the drum itself near the middle. put 2 bolts in them (12mm heads) and tighten them down a little on each side. they bottom out on the axle & push the drum off.
good luck!

also there should be a little hole on the backside and you can put a screwdriver in there back off the shoes but its prolly just rusted on there so if your going to replace it then heat is ok but if you want to resuse then just a hand held sledge and a few taps on each side should get it off
