After you've used the mallet and it doesn't seem to work. Make sure the vehicle is securely blocked up. To loosen your brake shoe, look for a small oval hole on the back side of the wheel assembly, most times it will have a rubber boot in the hole. Remove the rubber and use a brake tool or a screwdriver to adjust the small wheel inside the hole until the brakes loosen up and the hub slides off. Rayman1
AnswerRemoving a brake drum is the same for any vehicle. Remove the wheel and if the drum doesn't come right off (it probably won't), you have to hit it with a rubber mallet. Remember, there's a lot of heat generated not to mention the oxidation of parts. So that drum is going to get good and stuck on there. But there's actually nothing hold a drum in place once you take off the tire. A few hard taps with a rubber mallet should loosen it and will slide right off. Do not use a metal hammer as this may damage the drum and could cause severe brake problems. AnswerFirst you take off the Tire,then if your brake drum is is stuck on soak it with WD 40,around the hub,If it has a dust cap remove it and take off the Kotter key,& take out the bearing,if it is made that way,if all else fails,loosen off your brake shoe and give it a good smack with a machine hammer,that will soon loosen your brake drum,and you,ll be able to remove it.Jim.

To adjust the rear brakes you take off the wheel. Take the 2 Phillips head screws out of the brake drum. Insert two 13mm bolts into the brake drum and turn them clockwise. Tighten the bolts down while tapping the drum on the side with a hammer. After getting the drum off you release the pressure on the parking brake adjuster. Adjust the brakes until the drums go on with a little bit of friction. If the back drum brakes aren't adjusted tight enough the brake pedal wil go down too far.
