If you look in the picture, I think your trouble is with the "Anchor Pin" the one the heavy springs pull against.
I am in agreement here. The shoes are probably still tucked behind the pin. Now that you have had some movment can you rotate the drums a little, and maybe they will let go. Don't be afraid to give it a couple good whacks with a 3 or 5 pound hammer. Like mentioned if the drums break they were most likely junk anyway. They can take a lot of abuse.
I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
