the front drums will require the whole bearing assy to come out. in todays world would be like a drum trailer brake assy. take the hub grease cap off, remove cotter pin unscrew hub nut then carefully slide the drum off. I say carefully because you don't want to damage the back side grease seal and seal race. normally this bearing on these is cleaned out and new grease applied and if necessary new seal when ever the shoes are replaced. again be careful use a good breathing cartridge face mask these shoes most likely are asbestos. I use a spray bottle of dish soap and water and spray down these drum shoe assy . placing some newspaper under the assy. then using a brush and the spray clean off all the dust before you replace the shoes.
