Do you have locking lug nuts? In which case you need to have the "key" to put on the lug before you try to take it off... otherwise they won't budge.

Sometimes u need to literally sit on the floor, put your feet up on the sides of the tire and kinda kick it back and forth from side to side to loosen it. ... They are sometimes really stubborn to get off.... best of luck.

Yea loosen all lug nuts and leave one on not tightly and kick it as your way to loosen off the drum.

Has it been a long time since you've taken off the tires/wheels?

Use a wire brush on the surfaces between the wheel and the brake drum before you put the wheels back on.

Ya they stick pretty good and there is a key to use. Its called a rubber mallet...

Take a rubber mallet and hit the inside of the tire(not the rim) as you sipn the tire and it will come loose after a bit. You need to hit the tire pretty hard.
