Put the wheel back on then beat on the tire from the inside with a dead blow hammer while turning it.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

I finally got the drum off by taking the advice of a respected gearhead friend of mine. I put the wheels back on loosely and drove the car in tight left circles. 2 minutes did it.

Actually it was the drum nut that was loose, not the wheels
