Default Removing my brake drum cover

In my Chilton it says, " Screwing in two bolts and tightning alternately will press off the brake drum". What type of screws are they refering to, the picture shows some type of socket wrench but where do I purchase these screws?

I was getting ready to take pictures of my drum brake/wheel cylinder but couldn't get my got damn drum off.

are you referring to the rear drums?
there are no screws holdoing it on...its a tight fit they slip on...first try pulling it and if it dont budge,give it a couple lil smacks and it should pop right off

Works good

when i was in school I couldn't get my drivers side brake drum cover off. Even my teacher couldn't get it off. We tried beating on it and also heating it up but never came off. Didn't try driving bolts into it tho. That should do the trick as I did it on my buddies crx.
