there is an ajustment wheel that you can turn to loosen the brakes up. You can get at it from the back side of the drum with a screwdriver.

Even after loosening the brake adjuster sometimes they are hard to get off. I have done all kinds and you may have to get a pry bar and big hammer. Turn the adjuster all the way in so the brake shoe doesn't get hung up.
