RE 1984 honda 200s

I am in the process of changing the rear brakes and i got it down to the housing that the brake pads are in and i can't get it off to get to the brakes, is there any tricks, something i am missing or something else that would help me out, any thing would be appreciated, thank you, John

Try loosening your brake adjustment, sometimes the shoes wear the drum and there is a lip that can't pass over the shoes. Also look in the center of the brake drum where it fits on the axle. I think there is an o-ring that will also make drum removal harder. Try using a small pointed pick to remove the o-ring.

i am assuming you did, but i just want to check
