Jack up the rear of the vehicle and put on jack stands. remove wheels and sparay around hubs with PB Blaster. If you have a self ajuster on your vehicle, it may need to be lossened. hit the hub s with a hammer to try to lossen them. If you have a rearwheel drive you can put a couple lug nuts back on and start your car. put it in gear and tap on the hubs with a hammer while they are moving. you may need two people. Turn off your car and pull them off.

How do you get the drum off of the back wheel of a 91 Toyata Tercel to change the brake shoe?

If the brakes are worn and have worn a groove in the brake drum, you won't be able to remove the drum without first backing off the brakes. At the bottom of the inside of the backing plate you should see a slot. Use a small pry bar or a screwdriver to back off the adjuster.
