    The bolt for taking off your rear drums is an M8 x1.25 (metric obviously). Last month when I checked my rear drums @ 90,000 servicing they were frozen on. After beating on and bending two M8x1.25 bolts I finally squirted a tad of Locktite Penetrating oil in the holes and tried again an hour later. Drum broke loose with a loud CRACK! Both drums for that matter. Then of course sprayed complete drum with brake cleaner and scrubbed all the rust off with a wire brush. To my amazement the shoes and drums looked great and were within tolerance. The dealer did all my servicing since new until @ 80,000mi I started myself. Guessing they never pulled drums but always told me "they're real close of needing changed". Right.......

    Of course not. But you left out the 5K recommended interval of rear brake service I mentioned. A lot can happen between 5 and 20K miles.
    You got it figured out and I can't expand on that great info you provided.
