I need a tip on how to remove the rear drum in order to inspect the rear shoes on a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD. When I pull the drum outward it moves slightly and then refuses to move further despite some prying. The E-brake is off.

The brake has a self-adjuster
The brake has a self-adjuster with an access hole usually located in the backing plate (metal shield behind the drum)which is cover by a rubber plug to keep dirt/water out. Remove the plug, use a screwdriver to adjust the "starwheel" backwards in order to pull the brake shoes away from the drum to allow "easy" removal.
There is an image of this process at the following address.
