The brake shoes spread (go out) when adjusting wheel is turned downward. (one side adjusters have left hand threads)
Turn the adjuster wheel up to loosen the brake shoes from the drum. Like it was said, hit the brake drum. Spraying some penetrating oil into each of the studs for the lug nuts, and around the hub where the axle sticks through the brake drum will help. also.
Do not hit the wheel studs, or they will have to be rethreaded, or replaced.
