you CAN pull the drum off without taking the hub off, but if it is stuck to the hub, remove the axle, then the hub and drum as a unit. Once off, assuming you took the small bolts out that hold the drum onto the hub, you can lay it on the shop floor with the lugs facing up. Lift one edge and bang it onto the floor. Work back and forth around the drum and it will eventually work loose.
