I am trying to find out how to remove the rear brake drum. Standard drum removal will not work as drum does not look the same.
Do you
have the same problem?

Remove secondary brake shoe with parking brake cable attached, then remove parking brake cable from shoe
Remove control lever C-clip and lever from secondary brake shoe
Disconnect brake line from wheel cylinder
Remove two wheel cylinder mounting bolts and remove wheel cylinder
Remove parking brake cable bracket bolt, then remove parking brake cable from backing plate
