So When I put my Winters on I snapped off a right rear stud and I was quoted something like 90 bucks to replace at a dealer. Is it fairly easy to replace and I could just do ti myself when I change back to summers?

I don't have a lot of experience with drums but you will likely have to pry the top cover off, then remove all of the brake hardware and the backing plate. I THINK that might give you enough room but I'm not too sure. It's a start though.
You did release the parking brake? :ROFLJest:
If it isn't moving at all, soak penetrating oil between the axle hub and drum, let it sit for a bit. Then whack the outer corner of the drum good and hard with a hammer, working around the whole drum circumference. No, you won't break it, but it should break free.
If the drum is rocking on the hub, but just won't come off, then there is a raised edge on the back side from the brake surface being worn down, and the shoes are getting hung up on the lip. You either need to crank in the adjuster (star wheel) by reaching through the backing plate with a screw driver, or get a bigger pry bar.
