take rear tires off,look at drum by studs and see if you have 2 holes across from each other, if you do,they should be threaded,get 2 screws about 1 and 1/4 inch long,not sure what diameter (probably 8 millimeter),but screw both into holes evenly and it will come off,if no holes,then get under truck on other side of drum and theirs a rubber plug,take off and get flat head screwdriver and turn star screw ,it will release brake shoe from hub,push star screw down to loosen.good luck.
Holes
There are two threaded holes in the brake drums on my 1990 Nissan pickup truck. Their diameter is 8 millimeter.The holes on my truck were rusty, but I washed them out with a squirt of WD40. I squirted WD40 in the holes and all around the joint between the drum and the axle flange, where they separate. I used two 8mm X 50mm stainless steel bolts, I bought at the hardware store, to jack the drums away from the axle flanges. I tightened the bolts to about 25 pounds of torque (firmly without stripping anything). Then I hit the drum several times all round the outside. The bolts loosened a little, so I tightened the bolts again. Then I hit the drum again. After five or six of these cycles, the drums popped off the axle flange.
No Holes
Adjusters sometimes have to be held away from the star wheels to allow the star wheels to be turned backwards with the adjusting tool (spoon). Get a small flashlight and a long thin screwdriver. Hold the flashlight and the screwdriver together, in one hand, so you can sight down the screwdriver though the adjuster hole to find the adjuster. Use the screwdriver to hold the adjuster away from the star wheel, while using the adjusting spoon to turn the star wheel backwards. It will take a long time and several turns of the star wheel to back the shoes enough to get a badly grooved drum off. This all requires some patience, because giving it a good cussin' doesn't seem to help.
(As it turns out, I didn't need to push the adjuster away from the star wheel on my 1990 Nissan pickup, but I always had to do it on my Ford F-100, when ever I worked on it's brakes. Way to go, Nissan!)

How do you adjust emergency brake after changing brake shoes?
With Nissan trucks from the 1990's, you pull and release the e-brake handle several times. If everything is working in the rear brake drums (springs, actuators, adjusting stars) then the e-brake will be adjusted. Sounds easy enough, but if things are seized up in the drum or cable, this method won't work.
