If you wind the expander right in so the shoes would be clear of the drum, then go around the outside of the drum with a rubber mallet, that sometimes helps to unstick the shoes from the drums.

Any pics of the one you have removed ?

The next best thing is to remove the two bolts and nuts that hold the brake actuator and the adjustment block and remove the shoes and the drum together.

Just remove the spring and they will rock out of the expander.

The shoes are handed mind so don't mix them up.

They just hook over two posts on the inside of the shoes..

Adjust the adjusting screw right in to remove the load, then you pry the shoes out of the slots on the spring side, I used a bar to do this.... Then it's just a case of lifting the springs off and your done.
