[Roadsters] rear brake drums

Hi Everyone,
I have a rear brake drum that will not come off.  This is the first time I
have experienced this.  I have removed the brake line, drained the line, tried
tapping on it, tried to pry it off with screw drivers towards the center, and
tried force turning with no success in getting it off.
I am thinking of drilling holes, threading the holes and trying to screw bolts
to to pry it out.  I think some of the early Datsun 510/Z's had the drums
drilled and threaded towards the center to put bolts through to push the drum
out. 
 
Please send me suggestions on how to remove it.

Thanks so much,
Paul
