I am attaching the process from the manual on this process but a lot of times you get the shoes locked to the drum so you may need to hit the face of the drum to release them. However, you need to start with applying the parking brake and remove the hub screws and then release the parking brake and that may help with releasing the shoes.

Please find the info below that will help with this from the manual.

Thanks
