i hate doing drums but if you get a good manual or DVD then you should be able to figure it out... however make sure to do only one at a time so you can always have one for a reference point.

Best advice right there. The drums are going to be a BITC*. They basically rust weld themselves onto the end of the axle. PB Blaster and a Big hammer striking the
face of the drum. Strike between the studs. I saw a mechanic a while back who
actually had a shank with a hammer end on it for his air hammer. Made really quick
of rusted on drums. I'm going to weld myself up one.
