Purchase a repair manual at any auto parts store that is specific to your ride. Around $12, and will contain all the info you need for this and future repairs. To remove most brake drums, you must first release the emergency brake. After that you can tap on the edge of the drum in several places around it to free it from the shoes. You might also have to wiggle the drum many times to get it to release from the shoes. Another method is...some drums have a threaded hole into which you screw a bolt and start tightening. This will make the drum push away from the wheel flange and usually remove the drum.
