Are you just replacing the drums or the shoes too? Most cars the drums just pull off some you have to take the axle nut off, on a chevy it should just pull off, (there might be two threaded holes put bolt into them and try to tighten them it will sometimes push them off if rusted on)

on one of my drums i had to take a screw and thread it through the two holes to pop it off. on the other i took a hammer and lightly tapped all that way around til it was loose enough to pull off
