Block the front wheel to keep the truck from rolling. Lift the Silverado, and place a safety stand under it. Remove the wheel. The drum will pull off, it may take some work as they stick. The brake shoes have a pin through the middle, with a rotating clip and a spring. Remove the clip and spring and the shoes will come off to be replaced.
