REMOVE REAR BRAKE DRUM SUB-ASSEMBLY
Release the parking brake lever, and remove the brake drum.
HINT: If the brake drum cannot be removed easily, perform the following procedures.

Remove the hole plug and insert a screwdriver into the hole on the backing plate, and hold the rear brake automatic adjust lever away from the adjuster.
Using another screwdriver, compress the brake shoe adjuster by turning the adjusting wheel.
