I finally triumphed by inserting a prybar between the drum and backing plate while beating on the drum with the "bigger hammer". Be careful though, there is another bit of metal on the backing plate that you may get caught on.

If only the shoes are holding it, there will be a little give and you should be able to see the hub is free.

Over the years I've had to use a BFM(Big Frigging rubber Mallet) on many different types of drums. It's not just a HHR thing.
