hi,
Ensure that the cylinder is for LHM if your car is using that. Cylinder should be green. to remove the drum, undo the hubnut and then refit the rear wheel and drive a suitable machine screw throuh the centre hubcap retaining nut - this will be sufficent to 'push' the rear drum off.

Rear hubnuts can be reused - many times, but be aware of the force needed to undo them. I use 12' scaffold pole with a 3/4" breaker on the end! I believe that the socket is same size as those used for Ford Transit bearings...
