I advise that you don't need to attack the brake drum with a lump hammer, a little bit of finesse works best, also less chance of damaging the drum. The lump hammer should be used to smash bricks and rocks and not brake drums. The bolt that secures the wheel cylinder should come out easily will a good socket, using a cold chisel will only damage the brake back plate.

That is utter tosh. Johnwr obviously hasn't changed many Mondeo rear drums. Any Mondeo with drums makes it a certain age, and they WILL have seized parts. They will need force to remove, and a cold chisel will NOT damage the back plate if used correctly. It's not designed for filing your nails.
