Dear friend-the reason why you can not remove the drum is that the shoe is inbedded into the drum,there is a ridge in the drum holding the drum and shoe together,try and release the brake,if not you will have to apply force to remove drum,it might brake the spring clips but that can be replaced,good luck.

Had no auto matic adjusting lever can I put new brake shoes without replacing adjusting lever on 1994 Hyundia excel rear brake driver side

The rear brake drums are drum brakes on the 94 excel. The Excel uses the front brakes the most, so are you sure you need to replace the rear brakes?

I have a 1995 Hyundai excel, and brake fluid is coming out of rear brake. I haven't taken wheel yet to see if I can fix it. But looking underneath car I can see Floyd coming out of rear drum housing. Is...

If you have rear brake drums, (I think you do) it will be a wheel cylinder, or a broken brake line. The wheel cylinder is inside of the drum, and the line that goes to it will be on the inboard side.
Fixable by a novice? Hard to say, as you need to be able to bleed the brakes, after replacing the part.

Yes, Undo the 32mm nut, first. And, don't get the bearings dirty with dust from the brake drums, or , if you do, replace the inner and outer bearings with new greased up ones.prev.gif next.gif REAR DRUM BRAKES Brake Drums REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION
Brake linings contain asbestos. Asbestos is a known cancer-causing agent. When working on brakes, remember that the dust which accumulates on the brake parts and/or in the drum contains asbestos.

To install:
  5. On vehicles equipped without rear bearing hub, lubricate and install the inner wheel bearing. Install a new grease seal. Install the drum to the spindle.

When the bearing preload is properly set, install the nut lock and a new cotter pin. Install the grease cap.

Squeaky brake when cold

If your rear brakes are making the noise take off the rear drums and spray some brake clean in there on both shoes and the drum let all parts dry which wont take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two depending on the brake clean also if you want you can have someone take a piece of emry cloth to your front rotors and scuff them up a bit with about 80 to 100 grit emry and spray them and the pads off with brake clean let it dry to you can emry the pads to this will get most if not all the glaze on pads and rotors.
