Can't shift it ? If this is anything like a B-body, the front drum is captive on the hub, held on by the wheel studs which are peened over on installation . It doesn't come off. Take off the outer wheel bearing , & the drum & hub slide off the stub axle as an assembly. If you really want to get the drum off the hub you'll ideally need a hollow broaching cutter to remove the peened portion of each wheel stud.
