you do not have to remove the half shaft as it is possible to remove the drum from the drive flange when the brake shoe adjuster has been adjusted as far back as possible (my sons which i have just overhauled was very difficult to do this as it had not been very well maintained ,also the brake drum took some persuading to release from the drive flange with a large hammer and wood block).
