Rear drum removal

How to remove the cover I don’t remember how I got the other side off

I think there's a plug to give access to the adjusting wheel. You may have to adjust it out quite a bit if the shoes have worn in to the drum

I got it by beating the shit out of it. The pads were so with the they stuck to the drum itself

Update. Got everything off and a day off from work to work on it a bit and was installing the wheel cylinder because they look like a@@ also. I noticed the front of the hole that the cylinder goes into is bent a bit. Possibly I can just hammer it back down straight or would it be best to get a whole new backing plate? Shouldn’t that area be completely straight and flat? I’m sure I could use an extension and a hammer to straighten it out

Will new backing plat is not going to break the bank
Like dad always said to me if intelligence won't get it brut force will, he never financed my BFF projects..
