The clips you are referring to, are those the things on the lugs? if so those are long gone. Thanks

Subject: DML: Re: removing drum brake
If you've never taken them off before, you'll need to take the clips off of
the studs first, but yes, you'll need to adjust them in a little bit to aide
in removing the drum. Crack it with a mallet and it should come free with
minimal effort.

back side and rotate the adjuster screw down or up to loosen the grip of the
shoes to the drum. Also, any other ideas on how to remove the drum?
