hes right, good answer man. that's exactly how it is, and explained when i started at a Mazda shop haha
Take the tire off. And beat the hell out of the drum with a hammer until it releases. Don't have the ebrake on! Usually you have to fight with them a lot. If it still won't come off, there might be a little access hole on the other side of the drum. Look in there and there should be a little adjustment wheel. (might not be there, i don't know about proteges) But when you replace the shoes, only do 1 side at a time, start to finish. Use the other side as a reference.
Remove the high mount brake light retaining screws from your Mazda Protg. Remove the high mount brake light wiring harness. Reverse the process to install your new high-mount brake light.
DOT-4 is recommended
Lift the car with a car jack, remove the tire and set it aside, remove the brake shoe/caliper, and remove the old brake pad. Put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, put the tire back on the car and lower the car to the ground.

where is the transmission shift solenoid located on a 2001 Mazda protege
at the library
The Protege's went through a small redesign for the 2001 model year.
A 2001 Mazda Protege uses standard 10w-30 motor oil. This provides a good balance of viscosity and protection for the engine.
With the 1.6 engine, discard at or under .787".With the 1.8 or the 2.0 engine, discard at or under .866".
With my 2001 Protege 2.0 ES I am getting between 28 and 29 mpg.
