Just replaced rear drums shoes and hardware. drums were barely on shoes and hammered drums on. adjust brake cable adjuster under center console. impact hammer wont remove drums.....
Try getting the cable to release at the back of the drums. They could be froze up. Unlikely being a 2010. But you never know. You should never have to or ever beat the drums on. If you released the slack adjusters and the E brake is working, The drums will go on easily. Then adjust the slack adjusters to have a little drag on the drum. If you really believe it is the E brake causing the problem. Cut the cable as close as you can to the drum. This should release it. If you didn't take the slack out of the adjusters, then you have to sacrifice the drums and cut them in half or quarters to get them off. Not a fun job there. Cut them from top to bottom first.
You should have backed off the e-brakes before you installed new shoes. if you had to hammer the drums on that should have been a clue that you did something wrong. you will have to get the drums off some way and check to make sure you didn`t install something in the wrong way.

to remove a stuck brake drum what I do is. there is a couple of holes in the drum a size 10mm nut screw hole. get two 10mm bolts screw it in the two OPPOSITE holes and screw in at the same time until the drum is free. we call this screws extractor. Check for any damage in the shoe and other parts because you are force extracting the drum

you have to get a brake adjusting tool and a screw driver....
put the brake tool in and locate the adjuster wheel, use a screwdriver to release the locking prawl, its tuff but doable.
If there are no access openings to the adjuster, either in the drum or backing plate, then you need to work it off with a few pry bars

The only trick is banging it off. Drums are known to be "frozen" on or stuck. Honestly, the only way to get them off when they are stuck is to carefully hammer it off. Below is what is required to remove and replace the drum....and a picture of your system:

Providing you didn't go the wrong way with the adjuster screw, you should be able to get a couple of screwdrivers in between the drum and the shoe from the back. Just pry it out a little at a time and keep working your way around. The drum could also be rusted on to the axle hub face. Give it a crack with a hammer and see if it moves around the studs at all. Some wd40 or other lube may help. Spray it in around the wheel studs.
