Well, it's a little late, but you can pound them a little with a hammer to break all the crud loose and then try to pull it off. Just remember to release the e-brake before you do this.

Spray some penetrating oil like pb blaster on center of the hub and let set. Then bang like hell with a sledge hammer. Bang it and rotate it so you don't warp them. You can use two bolts and thread them into those threaded holes to pop it off. Yeah, it's a bitch.

yah hammer works well, a soft screwdriver works. (something like a hard plastic)

and as mentioned, make sure your e-brake is not on

theres an adjuster in the drum that you can use to make it loose.
