Go to the parts store andr rent a slide hammer and the axle puller that attaches to your wheel lugs. A few good whacks and the drum should pop right off. I just had to do that to my 88 samurai.
Now heres a question for you guys, I've put my new brake shoes on and have the E-brake unhooked, but I can't get the drum to go back on. It looks like the shoes are as tight as they can get, but its still too tight. The only thing I can tell is that i may just not have them aligned right up and down to make them fit, but it still seems pretty tight. ANYONE have any tips to help me out?

Thanks,
88
