How do you remove the rear drum brakes on a 1998 ford escort
how do you remove the drum the wheels are off
You must remove the center dust cap then remove the spindle nut. You need to tap the drum with a rubber mallet to remove it.
Nut you see after you remove the dust cover, in the middle of the drum, 30mm socket needed to remove
you must pull the axles, remove the bearings and then the hub/brake drum assmbly. comes off as one unit.
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.

Remove the tire and wheel from your 1988 Ford Ranger pickup truck. Remove the brake pads. When the brake drum is not loose you can tap on it with a hammer or mallet. Once the brake drum is loose it will slide off.
I need a diagram of ford F350 drum brakes on 1996 model 460 engine 4 wheel drive
Turn down the adjustor, and it should slide right off.
On the bottom of the back side of the drum, there is an oval, black rubber piece. Remove it and there is a gear inside that is used for adjusting.
There are two Phillips screws on the drum, remove those screws and put them in the other screw holes. Tighten them, they press against a solid plate forcing the drum off
