Isn’t there an automatic adjustment mechanism inside the rear brake drum that must be released when reassembling the drum over the shoes?

Yes, you can see the serrated pawl at around 10 o'clock, just below the lettering Y47 ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/04/21/AP-brakes-3.jpg)

Is there a special tool to release it on the car to facilitate drum removal?
BTW, thanks for the photo.

No, but you can fit a manual brake adjuster to make the job easier in the future! Check out this THREAD.

Can't be seen in the photo but externally there should be an oval shaped rubber grommet you can remove, then just pop in a small screwdriver and just ping apart the pawl, it's spring loaded to retract and back off the shoes...job done !
