how do you remove a very stuck brake drum?

the wheel bearing is holding the drum tight. I have tried a puller i have also hit it with an hammer unfortunatley this resulted in cracking the drum. so at the moment i have the face of the drum and the collar still stuck any ideas.

If you have been doing cars for so long, you ought to know that in order to help you people need to know the make an model of the vehicle and they don't need insults.

Let off the hand brake cable then yo will need two big levers and a mate with a big hammer you get the levers in and against the backing plate and pull,, then your mate who you must trust to hit the face of the drum this should get the drum off then if the bearing has stuck you now can get access to it.. you will need a brake shoe fitting kit coz they always feck up and they don't cost much

My idea is that you should not go anywhere near car brakes as you dont have the foggiest idea as to what you are doing.
