drum is seperate, the serrated type washer on one of the studs can be removed and discarded [its only there to stop drum falling off when vehicle was being built]. drums become tight on hub and may req some wd40 or a little heat [but not together-flammable] a good tap on drum between studs may also release it. make sure shoes have been de adjusted through back plate if drum is tight to turn.
