SUZUKI IGNIS REAR BRAKE DRUM?

I NEED TO CHANGE A REAR WHEEL BEARING ON MY IGNIS 1.3 2WD 04 REG I CAN TAKE THE WHEEL AND LARGE NUT OFF BUT THE DRUM IS BEING HELD ON BY THE BRAKES HOW DO I RELEASE THESE (THE HAND BRAKE IS OFF)SUZUKI IGNIS REAR BRAKE DRUM?
back off adjuster til its free or pry it and hit with hammer some have screws to push off hub only a few ways of doing it most need a hammer and to pry many cant get into adjust unless you knock out adjusting plug on back brake housingSUZUKI IGNIS REAR BRAKE DRUM?

I don't think that the brakes would be holding the drum on.

Many times the drum is simply held there because of rust, and the fact that it has been there for a long time. Take a rubber hammer or a hammer and a shoe, and try to hit the drum to knock it loose.
