FYI:

As long as the drum portion can spin, and the grove has not been cut (happens when you shoes cut a groove), all you need to do is gently tap with a rubber mallet and pull it off evenly.

If you turn the knurl/star nut, make sure you are not making the shoes come up.
[I doubt it but just make sure your aux brake is released]
