Refreshing to see a positive helpful answer posted rather than asking what the manual says, or asking if they have done a search.

And don't give up right away. Often takes several attempts to succeed

I was just going to ask "Why don't you just grab it and pull it right off?",but decided that was too cruel.

 

Take a very close look at the type of puller you will need,and then go to a local Advance Auto to buy your new grease seals for the front drums (you ARE pulling and checking the front brakes and bearings,right?),and borrow their puller. Pullers come in all shapes and types,so pay careful attention to what the right one looks like because using the wrong type is an exercise in frustration and likely to damage the drum.

If you don't find a puller, I have 1 you can borrow and local to you.

If the car is mobile, an alternative is to loosen the axle nut a coupe of turns, put the cotter pin back in and drive it through a series of side to side turns in a parking lot till you hear it pop.  

[RodFru2u]

I have the puller you could borrow as well, The post about pulling the cotter pin and driving around works too.

[mattimuss]

I was going to offer mine, but you have offers from members a lot closer than me.

 

Good luck!
