Are you just going to replace the original brake shoes, or are you going to upgrade to disk brakes?

my guess is you can't get the drum off. its just cause the shoes are rubbing a little on the drum... nothing that a little hammering to the back lip of the drum won't fix

Hit the living crap out of it until it comes off. Then go buy a new one along with the bearings, seals, etc.

Hammer or whatever. Hit downwards on the cap. That is what i did. There may be a more proven way.
