Changing rear brake pads 96 civic

Can any one tell me how to get the drums off of a 96 Civic. I thought I
knew but either it is corroded on or I am doing something wrong.

Thanks

Drums are rusted to the hub, two 8mm blots in the threaded holes will pop it
off. I wouldn't worry about changing them unless you are over 100,000
miles. I just checked mine on my 99 ex and there is still about 65% of the
pad left after 82,000 miles If anything you might have to spray it with a
little brake cleaner.
