If it still doesn't come off, try looking for a threaded hole in the
drum near the center.
The tech manual for my 2002 Caravan specifies the size of metric bolt
that should be screwed into the drum to pop the drum off of the hub.
While the drum IS separate from the hub, the center hole of the drum
is a friction fit onto the hub. With a bit of rust and crud, they seem
to freeze into place.

Inserting that bolt pops the drum off.
