250ES How to Seperate Drum From Brake

[bigreddaddy]

I finally got my big red running. It purs like a kitten at idle and runs great. Now another problem. The right rear wheel wobbles. I searched the forums and found some good info.
I took the wheel off and started with the drum. The breaks are shot and I have new shoes for it, and will probably get some axle bearings too.
The whole brake/hub assembly came off together. We just couldn't get that darn drum off. I'm sure the old shoes are stuck nice and tight on it.

What can I use to get the drum off without breaking it into pieces? Is there something I can soak the whole drum, backplate assembly in to loosen it up?

Also, I have read on some posts about a parts place called Dads where you can get wheel/axle bearings. Can someone please hook me up with the website?
Thanks for the help.
