Kerry-
    use a drum remover.  Note that I haven't looked at the drums on mine, but 
I will assume they are much the same as the 510.  In the center of the drum 
there should be a protruding part of the hub.  Squirt all around this with 
penetrating oil.  Just to either side of it there should be a pair of 
threaded holes.  Clean them out and find out what size bolt fits.  Now make, 
borrow or rent a hub puller- a steel bar with holes for the bolts you just 
put in the drum, and a center threaded hole with a big bolt that will bear in 
the center of the hub and pull the drum off.  Simply bolt onto the drum and 
tighten the center bolt while occasinaly tapping around the perimeter of the 
drum.  Should pop right off.

Good luck!
