    Remove the right wheel.
    Remove the right hub.
    Loosen both brake cables.
    Remove the brake drum.
    Remove and replace the brake shoes.
    Clean the inside of the brake drum.
    Scuff the inside of the brake drum where the shoes contact with about a 220 grit sandpaper.
    Clean the brake drum again.
    Reassemble in reverse order

    Referance the factory manaul. It takes about 30 minutes assuming you have no problems getting things to come apart.

    Not sure if you've ever done it.. i'm guessing no sense you're asking the question lol.. but a tip for that break drum if it is the same as mine was.. use Heat and a lot of it if it's stuck. I heated mine up and was hitting it with a before it broke loose. Those things tend to get stuck and corroded.
