How do you remove the rear drums on 2006 Tacoma.

wanted to inspect my drums and shoes on my 2006 Tacoma. Took the wheels off, released parking brake, and hammered a bit, but no luck.

What's the secret? I wish these were disc brakes....

Two holes on there are for a fine threaded 13mm bolt iirc, they will push the drums off the shoes. You really need to open up the adjuster slot (if its plugged with a cap), get a brake spoon and loosen the adjustment till you can pull them off easy.

Removed the rubber plug, didn't see any type of adjustment, other than maybe being able to pry the brake shoe away from the drum.

Where are these -2- holes located? I looked all over the back side of the drum/axle where the rubber plug was located.

thanks for your help.
