That was the hardest part of getting mine driveable. First, I had to make a special "screwdriver" out of an old crowbar to get the drum-to-hub attaching screws out, since a normal large screwdriver with a wrench on it wouldn't budge most of them. Then I had to beat on the drums pretty hard to get them loose. At least I didn't crack them. My shoes were pretty oily but weren't noticeably worn, so I soaked them in gas, rinsed them off with brake cleaner and put them back on. I put plenty of anti-seize on everything when I put it back together.
