   As in the drum itself? Or can you see the pads at the point you are at now?

   Remove the hub nut 32mm on drum I think, if not its a 30mm.
   
   Tap it gently and evenly around the drum and it should drop off.

   Handbrake undone?
   
   Get a punch or chizle and hit it off from the lip behind the drum. carefull not to smash a chunk out though.

   Get your sledge hammer out..
   
   Ok dont, but just give it a good few hits to loosen it up. Theyre not that hard to get off!
