Troubles with the back breaks on a 1997 Hyundai Accent....any help would be greatly appreciated...?

am helping my friend out by changing his brakes on his car. I have done alot of front and rear brakes in my life. But for the life of my i cant seem to find how to take the back brake drums off. Is there a special trick to this? I have taken the tire off and the cap in the center of the drum. There is a very large nut under were the cap was. Do i need to remove that to take them off? Or is there some other trick. Any help or info on this would be so greatly apprecaited.Troubles with the back breaks on a 1997 Hyundai Accent....any help would be greatly appreciated...?
your going to have to back the shoes off, there should be a port in back to stick either %26quot;adjustor spoon%26quot; or just a flat tip screwdriver, its a * wheel moving one way will loosen and other way will tighten



drum will slide off and the shoes and springs will be exposed, if possible take both sides off, but only work on one side at a time to so you can see how springs are routed and how it should look not how it looks good.



good luck, drums are alot more difficult than disk brakesTroubles with the back breaks on a 1997 Hyundai Accent....any help would be greatly appreciated...?
