It may seem like it, but you do not need to remove the large axle nut to get
the brake drum off just to replace brake shoes. >>

Danno,

Do it like it says to do it in the Bentley; remove the hubs and brake drums
together.  It makes the job much easier and, since the drums have a sheet steel
center, you do not risk deforming them.  Also, you do not risk Brinelling the
bearings.  Above all, it will remove the uncertainties and take less time to
do it as the manual says.
