You could drill the pins out but you'll still have to deal with the springs that hold tension on the shoes. You need to look a little closer for the adjustment holes. They may still have the rubber plugs in it so it could be hard to see with dirt and rust hiding it. If it's in a bad place to work on it try to move it out so you can get to it. You just need to use your imagination. Jack it up put couple pieces of plywood under the wheels with grease under tires and you'd be surprised how easy it is to move it. Heck you could even get it up on a rollback or trailer that way. once you get it home you'll have all the time in the world to figure it out. Larry
