Take lots of photos before you start, helps to get everything back in the same spot. There are two screws that hold the cylinder in place, soak those with PB Blaster.

The pic is a rear set, so it has extra e-brake parts shown. If you don't plan to replace all the springs, if you remove the hi-lited parts (two springs and connector rod) you should be able to spread the shoes out enough to get the wheel cylinder out.

That said I recommend if you have it open replace all you can. Spring kits are cheap, shoes are not too expensive, etc.

The adjuster - knurled ring at bottom of shoes - sometimes is frozen up. I break it free, clean good, and usually put a little anti-seize on the threads.
