Insert a 1/2 inch x 5/8 inch cold chisel (1) under the head (2) of each pin and shear them off as illustrated
. This will release the shoes from the backing plate, allowing them to pivot away
from the inside of the brake drum (3), which should then allow the brake drum to be pulled free. After
completing step 6, skip step 7.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Although step 6 allows easier access to the brake shoes, it is not imperative to do so in order to remove
the brake shoes.

Remove the axle shaft.
See Axle Shaft and Oil Seal Removal, Section 17, Page 17-1.
