They should just slide off, there is sometimes a metal retainer ring on one of the studs but you can just tear that off with a pair of pliers (it's just there to keep the drums in place on the assembly line) if the brake drums have worn into a bell shape, which they sometimes do, you may have to back off on the adjuster some which can usually be accessed by removing a rubber plug from the backing plate(opposite the drum) and turned with a small flat tool, like a flathead screw driver. Very LIGHT tapping between the studs with a SMALL hammer will sometimes shake them loose too, the drum can rust to the hub, but DON'T hammer hard and DON'T hit the lug studs. Good Luck!
