there are axle bolts holding it on. unless yours is different than mine.
could be rusted shut. If you f*** it up let me know I have an extra drum cover. (send me a pic of yours first so I know it is the same)

When I have a stuck brake drum like this. I make sure everything is loose or removed that needs to be.
I then beat the axle through it. Use a Strong wood block on the end of the axle. You shouldn't need to beat the axle far to get the drum loose.

How ever if you Do need to beat the axle all the way through then you need to take the chain cover, chain and such off of the other side. ;)
