Once wheel is removed, you should be able to "walk" the drum off by pulling on the right and left sides. If it feels like its on springs and wants to return to the installed position when pulled on, the shoes have worn into the drum. You will have to back the shoes off first. This is typically done through the hole in the backing plate. There should be a rubber plug about 1 inch by 3/8 inch, in the bottom of the backing plate. This is on the backside were the axle and backing plate are connected. Inside this hole is a "star" adjuster, but it has a tab that will only let it turn one direction, to adjust the brakes up as they wear. (This is done automatically) You will have to use a light , pear through the hole to get an idea of what your dealing with, push back on the tab, and turn the "star" adjuster in the opposite direction it normally travels. In my experience, GM usually puts the adjusting cam (tab) on top of the star wheel, which means you would turn the left hand side clockwise, and the right hand side counter clockwise. (CW and CCW as if you were sitting in drivers seat) If the drum is seized onto the axle, use a drift (punch) and hammer and rap sharply in between the wheel studs, NOT ON THE EDGES OF THE DRUM, and it should loosen Once wheel is removed, you should be able to "walk" the drum off by pulling on the right and left sides.

Brake drums can be resurfaced by turning the brake drum in a brake drum lathe. When the brake drum has deep grooves in it, it cannot be repaired.
Begin by removing the tire and wheel from your 1993 GMC. Remove the brake spring and the brake caliper. The brake shoes will come off. Reverse the process to install your new brake shoes.
The 1996 GMC Yukon brake lights work by receiving power from the brake light relay switch. The brake light relay switch is connected to the brake pedal.
The 1996 GMC Sierra DRL module is located underneath the dash panel on the driverside between the pakingy brake pedal and the brake pedal.
It does not take freon. The 1995 GMC Vandura uses the new R134a.
The first step is to remove the tire. The rear brake drum will have what is known as a self-adjusting screw. This may need to be adjusted to pull the drum off, once you have the tire removed.
No, the GMC Vandura is a van. If you have the Starcraft conversion, the van is technically considered a station wagon for insurance purposes (much cheaper).
Appears to be no power to Brake Lihgt relay under hood
mine is located straight down from the brake booster.....follow the brake lines coming off the master cylinder....should lead you right to the valve you are looking for
The ECM on the Vandura 2500 is under the Driver's seat.
There are several relay switch is on your 1996 GMC Jimmy. The brake light relay switch can be found below the dashboard in the engine compartment.
