never had a go myself but id imagine its pretty much the same as everything else. you'll need an 11mm pipe spanner, either 8mm or 10mm socket for the cylinder itself, vise grips, a file, a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer.
cant remeber what size the nut is on the hub but you need to take the drum off first ( a task on its own ) make sure you dont lose any parts of the bearing. you need to crimp the flexi hose with a pair of vice grips to reduce fluid loss. remove the 11mm pipe conector from the cylinder. using a small flat blade screwdriver, push each piston away from the shoes. now undo the 2 retaining bolts on the back of the cylinder. should now pull forward and off with ease. ( if you cant remove the pipe conector due to it bieng seized, you can use a small pair of plumbing style pipe grips, but will need to replace the whole metal pipe from flexi to cylinder) , re fit in opposite order. use the file to take the lip off the edge of the drum, this will help it slide back on easyer. dont forget to bleed the brake line (2 person operation)
