    What they did not tell you the drums maybe difficult to remove. In the face of the brake drum are to small threaded holes they will except a 6MM bolt. Back off the brake adjuster (it's not a lot of fun you'll need a thin screwdriver to hold back the adjuster inside of the drum). Once the shoes are backed off you can put two 6MM bolts in the drum face, tighten them to force off the drum. After doing several you'll find it a good ideal to use anti seize on the drum edge and axle in case you ever want to do it again. I pulled the drums on my 2011 when it had less than 10k and antisense the drums and put it all back together.
