The castle, the washer, the bearing.

If the bearing has failed the car is resting on the broken bearing and the stub axle with play in all directions. No possible way you're using that.

Bolt the wheel back on so you can get a bit of leverage, should come off with a big of jiggling.

Whack fuck out of the drum at 2 o'clock then 8, 4 then 10 with a 2lb hammer then just pull like fuck. Pushes the shoes in a bit and doesn't do any damage.

Dont do that. Put the wheel back on and grip the wheel. Then pull the wheel and it should come off like that.
