If you just working on the brakes, remove the dust cap, cotter pin, hub nut and outer bearing to get the drum off, it all comes off as one unit. If you plan on replacing the drum then you have to grind the rivits off. Hope this helps. BTW, I too almost put my eye out on two seperate occasions trying to take brake springs off with a screwdriver ...I finally bought the right tools ...and bandaids!
