Then smack the inside of the wheel with a block of wood and a hammer.
Or buy a drum puller

as said before make sure to grind the lip off the drum when refitting them as it makes life so m uch easier later on

Tried to knock it off with the handbrake slackened off but landed up cracking the lip off the edge of the drum. I had to cut the drum off with an angle grinder ! I cut the 'center' out with the bearing and wheel mounting so I could put the wheel back on to take it off the jack (for safety). Now off to the breakers for a 'new' drum.
