Remove lug nuts and wheel. There are two (2) holes in the front face of the drum. Using metric bolts purchased at a local hardware store, thread the bolts into the two (2) holes. Alternately tighten the bolts until the drum slides past the brake shoes. There is no slot in the backing plate to loosen the adjusting wheel. Once the drum is clear of the shoes, the various springs and retainer clips can be removed in the typical fashion. After inspection and cleaning of the hardware, grease the contact points on the backing plate with high-temperature brake grease. Install springs, retaining clips, and other hardware in the reverse order of removal. Turn the adjusting wheel inward for proper clearance for the brake drum. Install brake drum and check for play between new brake shoes and drum. This may require removing drum again and re-adjust the brake shoe adjusting wheel until proper clearance is achieved. Install wheel and lug nuts. torque lug nuts to proper specifications. Carefully road test vehicle for proper operation.
