1990 dodge colt brakes locked up and cannot remove rear drum any advice?

While driving down a highway my back brake locked up and started smoking. tried to pry the drum off but no success any advice?
Answer
It probably locked up because the spring let loose. you;ll need to take a screw driver and put it in the little slot to turn the adjuster gear, wedging the screwdriver downward, so that the gear turns upward. that will adjust the shoes inward so that they release the pressure on the drum. the slot is usually located at the bottom of the inner face of the rotor assembly.
