I just hit myself in the eye with my hammer trying to get the front drum off. So I give up and come here for help

How does the front drum come off of my 69 GMC C15?
I turned the adjuster spindle all the way in. I knocked the wheel studs into the drum, thinking they might have been holding it. There are 3 studs sticking out of the drum that look like the tips have been mashed in. I don't know if those have to come out or what is the deal.
