Guys, thanks for the replies. I finally got to this today and it's obvious that the e brake is sticking on the driver's side. I can pry on the bellcrank to make it release, but as soon as I set the e brake, it will stick again. I'm guessing that I need to take the drum off to determine what exactly is causing the e brake cable to stick. I'd also like to take the drum off to give the rear brakes a good inspection since I've been driving around like this for a while. Well, I did everything I could think of to get that damn drum off. Released the shoes with the adjusting star, liquid wrench, banged on the drum with a 2lb sledge, hit around the lip of the drum with a dull chisel and stripped out the threads attempting to screw a couple bolts into the drum. Repeated this for about 2 hours with no luck. So I wondering if anyone's got any tips/techniques that I haven't tried for removing brake drums? Thanksyou all.

there is the easy way, buy a new drum, and take the old one off with a hammer in pieces
