THe Ford manual says do not remove the centre nut to change the brake shoes, you should remove the four bolts from the rear of the brake backplate, this removes the stub axle with the drum, and on refitting tighten the bolts to 66Nm the big nut in the centre of the drum requires torquing to 235Nm!!

To remove the brake drum, its best to remove that large central nut. With this undone, using a suitable size socket, the drum pulls clear, revealing the brake shoes.
