Super stubborn brake drum

[Belzer65D1100]

Hi everyone,
Have a frustrating problem. Trying to remove rear left brake drum on my 1965 D1100/2WD. Tried everything..heat, penetrating oil, removing pins, unbolting wheel cylinder and parking brake from dust plate, attitude adjustments with 4lb sledge, angle grinder and prying with different sized prybars. Drum spends easily so it isn't stuck. Short of a tactical nuclear weapon I've been unsuccessful. Thanks.

I was thinking of that too. I'll give it a try. Thanks

The studs are swedged to the drum through the hub.
