<p class=MsoNormal>You can try backing off the adjustment which is done by
turning (loosening) the square headed fitting opposite the wheel cylinder
on the back side of the backing plate .It’s a quarter inch square and you can
cobble together some quarter inch drive sockets to fit the adjustment screw. If
that doesn’t work try grinding the heads off of the pins that hold the shoes
tight against the backing plate. They look like the head of a nail and are at
90 degrees from the wheel cylinder. What you’re tring to do is release the
shoes from the drum thus allowing the drums to pull off.<o:p></o:p></p>
