    The previous owner had it converted from 6 to 5 lugs and ive already gotten the spacer off.
    Ive gotten all the internals out (bearings, ect)
    Ive even taken the nuts off the back side that nut onto the brake show from the outside (cotter pinned nuts)

    Lastly, ive beat it with a hammer, sprayed it tons, and tried prying. What do i do now? :eek:

    Sounds to me as if the brake shoes are worn wayyyy down into the hub. Is there any play at all if you wiggle the hub back and forth? About all you can do is back off the adjusters and pound like hell on that drum.:(
