Stop in for a cup of coffee

Never had an issue removing drums on cars I've owned but I'm aware thats not always the case.
I had a 1960 F350 for a short while and at work had an '87 Dodge dualie mason's dump (long story). I didn't do those brakes myself! I'll admit starting on the Ford's parking brake but ran into an issue which I don't recall. Had something to do with the driveshaft mounted drum. Needed heat or a press neither of which I had at the time.
