First, be sure there are no spring clips over some of the studs. It's pretty common for the drum to stick where it slides over the center hub. Spray some penetrating oil on there, let it sit for a couple hours, then apply some heat to the drum around the center. Often times the drum will pop right off.
Are your brakes new or old? If they are old the drum may be worn and it may be necessary to adjust the shoes inward enough to clear the ridge on the outside edge of the wear surface. It which case your drums should be resurfaced, or possibly replaced if worn passed maximum diameter.
