Removing Drum to get to hub

I use a screwdriver to get them loose. If you remove the rubber grommet on the back towards the rear of the car you gain access to the auto adjuster for the rear shoes. You need to push in on the little metal flange and turn the star wheel to loosen the brakes and the drum should slide off easily depending how much of a lip there is from the shoes.

You guys must of got lucky because here's what I had to do to get mine off. Adjust the shoes all the way in, pull on drum, no luck. Acquire BFH, hit the drum several times, pull on drum, no luck. Spray PB blaster all over the hub and around the wheel studs, commence beating the **** out of the drum in pure rage, finally comes off with some coaxing. Then, for me, it was on to the fun part of actually replacing the shoes lol. May the man who invented drum brakes burn in hell for eternity.
