If you already backed off the adjusting star wheel, just hit it harder at various points - from the back. It will come loose.

Keep hammering, also spray penetrant around lugs and center hub.
Also, there are 2 threaded holes, between lugs and opposite each other, for screwing in 8 or 10 mm bolts (can't recall) to force the drum off.

Actually, I don't think that model had the threaded holes, but I might be wrong....
If I remember correctly, they only put those holes in the disc brakes rotors since you can't beat on the rotors the same way you can beat on drums.

I don't think you're remembering correctly.
