Its fairly east to take the drums off

If you have a haynes manual, the process is well detailed within

Though its a case of wheels off, grub screw out if there is one, then release the drum via one of the bolt holes by pushing onto the release tab

The wheel cylinders have a habit of seizing on these - it makes sense to replace the entire mechanism as its cheap as chips.
