You may not actually have to remove the drums, that's a big job. The brake housing by the way actually performs the brake drum function. Start by removing rear wheel and fender, disconnect brake linkage, remove outer brake housing cover. Carefully, because loose or broken parts may fall out. What you'll likely find is rust and dirt. All I had to do was give mine a good cleaning, and put it all back together. But if there's oil inside, you're looking at a bigger problem. A big O-ring keeps the UTF from seeping into the brake housing. Even though it's just a simple O-ring replacement, now the brake housing DOES have to be removed. Unfortunately you gotta get into the trans/diff housing to do that, just to be able to get AT the O-ring that's probably responsible for the leak.
Let's hope your problem is simply rust and dirt.

As Greg said but the retainer is a clip ring not an O'ring. You may need a puller to remove the drums from the shaft and a clip release tool. They are reversed from a rear brake drum so the shoes can be replaced without removing the drums. ....
