You may have to loosen the brake shoes. And also "bang" on the drum with a small sledge hammer. Generally the will be rusted on and may require a good amount of force.
Ford Focus rear drums are held on by a nut in the middle remove the cap in the center and then remove the nut, new drums come with the bearing as well. IMPORTANT NOTE! ABS PICKUP NOT INCLUDED ON NEW DRUMS MUST BE REUSED FROM OLD DRUM.
Use the drum puller and tap the back side of the drum from with a hammer, and keep tightening the puller. It will come off if you have the security screw's out. The reason it's hard to pull off is BC the brakes are grabbing the drum
the bearing needs to come apart remove the silver cap you should see a cotter pin holding the spindle nut remove the pin then the lock shield for jam nut then remove jam nut be careful as bearing may fall out there is a washer between jam nut and bearing then you should be able to remove drum
I'am not sure what you are calling jam nuts but if you are talking about the spring loaded washers on the lug studs that are pressed against the drum, they are not needed.
you need to take off tires at hte back,you gonna see a big metal dust cover,take it off,then you gonnasee a big nut inside on it,that the one holding your drum,good luck and have fun
DO MEAN THE LUG NUTS?
