I tried to back off the adjusting wheels, but they were frozen up. Finally I just removed the axel and complete hub-drum assembly. Slid right off that way.
Guess now I can use heat to separate them for easier installion.
One strange thing, every thing looked ok except for a leaking seal,and all 4 shoe return springs were broken and laying in bottom of the drum. Don't understand why all 4 were broken, they were shiny and not rusty looking.
