Barrie,
You will need a Tappered Drum Puller to remove those rear drums without damaging them. Do not try to use a different style puller as it may damage the drum.
Here is a picture of the one I have which is made by Blue Point (Snap-On). This one is probably 20 years old. But they still make them (looks different, but same general idea). It's basically a puller that is connected to the lug bolts. You remove the axle nut cotter pin and loosen the axle nut (but leave it on). Then the puller is cranked down with a by hitting the "dogbone" with a mallet. Enough wacks and it will break loose. That is why you keep the axel nut on to prevent the drum from flying off.
