Finally got a large enough puller to pull the drum but it didn't come off
w/o a fight. Had to turn the puller a little, hammer w/rubber mallet & turn
the puller a little more until it "popped". Then walked the drum off the
shoes. The shoe hold down pins are gone! The springs and the hold down clips
were there but no pins. The inner seal popped out during the drum removal.
So, will be replacing the inner seal and ordered a hardware kit. Thought
about swapping shoes but the rear shoe has the E-Brake lever and will
require removal and installation on the other shoe to complete the swap.

I plan to repack the bearings with synthetic grease.
