let me make sure I understand your position, you couldn't remove the drum so you decided to unbolt the backing plate now with the backing plate unbolted you still cannot remove the drum? is that correct?

I am not sure what you are doing because you can't take the backing plate off without the drum, here is a video that shows how the job is done.
