there should be two holes with threads in between the wheel studs (1.25 mm x 8 mm) and all you do is screw bolts in even until drum comes free from hub also some penetrating oil ( wd 40 ) would help unless drum is stuck from the brake shoes wearing a groove in witch case you will need to back the adjuster off hope this helps.
As is with any car, they are sometimes tough. If you cannot slack the adjusters, then with a 5 lb hammer, bang the drum on the sides and the flat side in front of you, trying to turn the drum at the same time. Might take some time.

How do you release the emergency brake cable on your 1997 Ford Taurus?

I can't remember what a '97 Taurus has for an emergency brake. The ones with a handle (usually between the seats) You pull a little bit of strain on it then press the button on the end and push it down. The ones with a pedal, You push it down all the way and it should release. If neither work your brake could be stuck on and you would have to take the wheels apart to fix it.
