Im replacing my rear brake shoes and the drum will not slide off. My guess is the shoes are pushing against the inside of the drum but I see no way to adjust to free the drum. I tried playing with the emergency brake cable/assembly but that didn't work. What's the trick to getting the drum off?...and then back on again?...there's no star adjusting wheel.

Have you removed the hold down screws?
