I think it is just like any other drum brake. Take off the drum, from
there you can tell if the cylinder is leaking at the pistons. There are
usually 2 bolts you will need to get at from behind. I think you will
probably have to remove the shoes, or at least the return springs. Not a
big deal at all.
