This is my first 1 Ton project, and due to a busy life, I have to move the truck around a lot, however the truck is next to impossible to roll around without a tractor or other such vehicle.  I am assuming the break drums are holding me up.  I went to remove the rear drums and expected to find an adjustment window to release the shoes, but no such luck.  What I did find was two bolts on either side of the hydraulic line (see link).  I have no idea what to do next, can anyone please help me?
