there is a cool trick for drum brakes, first, make sure the parking brake is not applied and make sure to chock the car from rolling!!!!then disconnect the negative battery cable. then after you pull the wheel off if you look at the drum near the lug studs you should see 2 holes that look as though they are threaded. they are usually diagnal from eachother. find a couple of bolts in the garage or parts store that wil fit the threads in the drum holes, ( the bolts must be the correct thread or you will ruin the threads on the drum) make sure the bolts you get are at least a couple of inches long, next you will thread the bolts into the holes simultainiously ( they will not thread in far) then take a ratchet or wrench and slowly turn the bolt clockwise 3 to 4 turns, then go to the other bolt and do the same, kepp doing this and you will see that the drum is being pulled away from the pads, then eventually you can just pull the drum off with your hands. after it is removed simply reverse the bolts that you put in and you should be good to go. good luck
