loosened the adjuster from behind and tapped the drum off

good thing for little brothers who are mechanics (even if a 2 wheel mechanic!)

chock block both front wheels release emergancy brake jack truck up in back remove tire

now grab a hammer not real hard but not sissy type give it even blows with the hammer. hit the drum flat with hammer around the center out side of lugs and dont hit the lugs. some come off easy but if its been yrs it'll take few mins hittn with a hammer. i use a small 3lb sludge hammer a heavy rubber mallot would be better just be patient and use even flat blows with the hammer once it loosens it'll remove very easy. just the nature of this beast with back drums . on my 1964 tis what i had to do and still have to do every time i change rear brake shoes. i had to replace both front wheel cylinders on mine i used 1969 3/4 ton a friend had for parts. his left front cylinder was my right front per my local brake warehouse nevada brake

you will have a big problem if you dont remove those flat head screws in the area between the axle studs as they hold the drum to the axle...
