get a drum brake tool , or a big flat screwdriver and adjust the shoes in . little slot at the bottom inside of the backing plate. there is a threaded adjuster in there with teeth around it .i hope this helps.

same as above....they are probably grooved which means that there is a groove behind the brake shoes which isnt allowing you to pull it off......like he said on the backside of the backing plate there should be a rubber plug....pull that out and use a screwdriver to back off the brake shoes
