The rear drums are pressed onto the axle, thus you have to use a hub puller that is made to be whacked with a hammer. The first thing to do though is to let off any pressure to the wheel cylinder by loosing the brake line at the axle (be sure to have something under the axle to capture the fluid). Then remove the hub nut, attach the hub puller and be prepared to whack that thing multiple times... I ended up using a 16 lb sledge hammer to get mine off. This is the puller I bought:

Please, if you find out how to pull the rear hubs off your Plymouth, let me know. I have the same problem, have mine jacked up and put a puller on it, put lots of turning torque to the puller, and it hasn't budged. Looked on the back side, but can't see anything holding it on, just don't want it to come off, and the brakes are stuck.
My manual is not very clear; it just says remove the wheel and using a hub puller (pressure type) to remove the hub. You don't want to use a hammer type puller; you might shatter some of the internal parts, and it would not work anyway if the bolt type won't do it. If you find out what's holding it on or figure how to get it off, please let me know at moonlyn@gmail.com
