Yes but from inside the drum.
You have to remove those little wedges from inside the drum, and screw it 
towards the outside of the car.
Oil it up real good, screw it in from behind the back plate, once the wrench
bottoms out, go at it from inside the drum and it should come out with your
fingers or plyers. It is cone shaped with flats on it.
