I hit all around the drum edge with a hammer and still no go.

I have removed drum brakes on other GM cars and they would just slide right off. These are stuck on. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the replies...My car does Not have ABS. I've posted a picture below of the drum with the retaining screws removed.
