Seized Drum Brake

I think its still lefty loosey, so you actually want to tighten the star nut. Remove the brake line from the slave cylinder so it will contract and it may relieve the pressure enough to get them off. Last resort if the shoes are binding is to drill a small hole in the drum edge "shoe level" and use a punch through the hole to tap the shoe back against the backing plate while you pry the drum off. I had a huge ridge on my old drum and that was hanging me up.
