My rear Dana 60 is now how breeh describes above. Before that, the drums and hubs were virtually one, held tight together by the lugs being pressed thru both. If you find that your drums are toast (like mine were), consider trashing the hub/drum assemblies, go to your friendly-local-neighborhood junk yard and pick yourself up another set of hubs. Have new bearings pressed in the hubs, then buy new drums (my local auto parts store had them in stock for $90 ea.) that have lug holes that are just a tad larger in diameter than the lugs themselves. They slide nicely over the lugs, and center on the hub with two large countersunk screws (be sure to get these screws at the junk yard when you get the hubs). This setup will make life way easier later down the line during the next brake job... No more having to pull the axles.
