The little brake assembly holding pins may have come loose from the rear of the drum...it throws the brake assembly inside out of wack and makes it a real bear to get off...it took me a while of working to get mine free.

I found that someone had riveted my right front drum on. I had to grind off the rivet and then the drum removed. I have also seen the brakes being adjusted out too far causing this symptom. The drums are not attached with the front bearings.
