01 accent drum removal?

Hello I'm new to this forum. My wife's 01 Accent is due for a brake job but I can't figure out how to remove the rear brake drums. Can anyone help?

You have to remove the wheel bearing nut behind the dust cover. This is a one time use nut that is held in place by using a puch to set it in place once it has been torqued down. You will have to buy a new nut from Hyundai (approx $12) no one else carries them. Once you remove the nut, you can remove the drum with a puller or mallet. The puller is much better.
