72 240: How the heck do i get the rear drums off
May be a dumb question but I've never worked on a japanese vehicle this old. I cannot figure out how the get the drums off. They don't seem to pull straight off, I can't find a hole to thread in bolt like some cars, It doesn't seem to have a star wheel hole either.
Any help appreciated

Make sure ebrake is loose, nudge with rubber mallet.
The FSM says to disconnect the ebrake line, pop out cover and use flathead screwdriver to adjust in the wheel: www.xenons30.com/reference

I just had this problem a few days ago. I took two dead blow hammers ( large and small). I took small one and set on the edge of drum and hit it with the large one. Spun drum and kept workin them till I got them off. My passenger side was completely locked up. I used a round pry bar between the lugs to spin the axle over. Worked for me. Good luck.

Not to threadjack or anything. But is it possible to make an S30 4 wheel disc, and get rid of the drum brakes? I only know how to work on disc brakes. I am asking, because sometime in the future I will be getting a 240-280z. I think drum brakes on a small lightweight sports car are kind of lame. Even my Neon has rear drum brakes, which doesn't make sense to me.
