You can buy a brake tool all in one tool at most parts places. A flat screw driver will work also. The spring clips that hold the shoes on can come off with pliers.. Not needle nose.. Just grab the spring head on and push and turn tell the center pin notch lines up to pop off.. Just remember to put on stands and both wheels off and do one at a time so you can use the other side to compare.. The adjuster rod will most likely drop out, so just keep in mind that you need it.. I also adjust mine after install with drum off. A lot easier than the access hole to the adjuster. I get it to where I have a little trouble putting the drum on. Not a hard time just a little trouble sliding it back on and hard to turn by hand. But with the wheel on you should only feel a light drag but will turn fairly free and stop. I hope this helps.. To be honest I lost my brake tool. So i use pliers and a screwdriver. Screw driver helps take main tension brake springs off.
