After removing rear tire how do you remove the brake drum. Everyone says to back off the springs using the small oblong hole at bottom of back plate. There is not an opening, the cutout is there but it has metal covering. Am I doing something wrong or just missing what I am looking for. Can I just put a puller on the drum and start pulling. Sorry for being a dummy but am at a loss for where to start.
