I was able to get the rear hub out without much of a problem.
Now i need some information on how to take the trailing shoe and the leading shoe out....and also i would like to know when replacing the drum brake shoe, do you need to replace the Wheel Cylinder as well???

Cheers

Ok if the shoes are still in place you didn't remove the hub you removed the drum.
(calling things by the correct name is useful when trying to explain things on the internet.)

I've never had to replace a slave cylinder (wheel cylinder), you only replace them if they're leaking.

There is a clip about half way up each shoe which holds it to the hub, you need to rotate the center of this clip for it to release, then its only springs holding them in place.

My advice is to do one side at a time so you can see how it goes back together, as the self adjusters and the spring setups are always different for each model.
