Best Answer

Sometimes it is a chore. If it is rusted on, you jay have to use heat around the hub. If the shoes have worn groves in it, you have to retract the shoes with the adjusters. If push comes to shove, you just pry them off destroying the springs and retainers. You have to know how they go back on though.

On the drum there are 2 screws in the front of the drum. These are in addition to the 4 lugs. Take the 2 screws out. You may need an impact tool. Then, put two 13 mm bolts in the holes and tighten them down as you tap the drum with a hammer. The drums will come off slowly. Fasten down, then tap as you go.
