1989 F250 - how to remove rear brake drum

I have a 1989 f250; my left rear brake drum will not come off the axel/hub. I have read the Hayes manual and it make a reference that if the axel is heavy duty, then I need to pull the axel out.<O</O

How do I know if I have a heavy duty rear end? The truck is 4x4 with 8 lugs per wheel.

I have rotated the star wheel as much as I can, (the star wheel is shut and need to be replaced). With the rear end in the air the tire removed I can rotate the drum by hand with not brake drag. The drum seems to be frozen to axel hub.

Any help would be appreciated.
