replacing wheel cylinder
Do I have to take the drum apart to replace the rear wheel cylinders? I went outside yesterday to take a quick look and there is two bolts on each side of the bleeder screw, if those are unscrewed will it slide out the back?

The wheel cylinder is an integral part of the braking system. Compression of the brake fluid via the brake pedal increases the pressure within the wheel cylinder, thus expanding the brake shoe diameter causing friction against the drum.
Yes you have to remove the drum and disassemble the brake components.
