You need to pull the drum off to get to the wheel cylinders-in front of the drum you will see 2 holes insert the correct size bolt in it and tighten it this will cause the drum to gradually come out as you turn the bolt

Hi there,
If the wheel cylinder is leaking the internal seal is damaged. There are two ways to repair the original cylinder, one is to clean and hone out (if cast as you can't hone alloy) and fit an over size seal, or re sleeve and fit a standard seal, (this you won't be able to do yourself) but the cheapest and quickest option is to fit a new cylinder and re bleed the system.
