Does it slide at all ? ie, is it stuck on the shaft or the brake pads ?

ahhhhh are the brakes ON? hey, I have seen this happen before. lol

if they are off (released) spray some P-oil (WD-40) on the spline and let it soak some.

You may want to try backing off the adjusters if you can. Hopefully they aren't rusted and frozen up. I hope the issue isn't related to the parking brake being applied!

Spray some GOOD penetrating oil into the spline area; use PB Blaster or Kano Kroil and let sit for a spell and try again...

Leaving the brake on and not realizing that is why the drum is stuck are two different levels of special!
