I just took mine off. It took some effort but I was able to pry them off. Mine were at first stuck but I was able to loosen them enough to get the drum about a 1/2" away from the backing plate. At that point it would go no further. I used wood blocks resting on the leaf springs to the drum to give me solid backing for a pry bar. With a little effort (not too much, didn't want to crack the drums), I was able to get them off. The problem is that the inner pad wore a groove in the drum causing it to hang up. Basically a worn drum with a higher outer edge that the drum won't slide over on it's own.
