If you do that sort of work on a regular basis, it might be worth investing in a copper mallet especially in removing brake drums. An iron mallet does the job but there's always the risk of damaging the drum if you hit it too hard. The copper mallet has the necessary weight and will absorb the impact without any damage to the drum. A nylon mallet is a useful tool to have with your kit, but for this particular job, will just bounce off the brake drum. The way I have always removed a brake drum, is by grabbing hold of the rim of the drum with my fingers on one side and pull while tapping the opposite side with the mallet. If you keep switching this process from side to side, it eventually releases the grip of the drum from the shoes. Hope this is helpful.
Mistakes in this video , You should not have to bang or hit the drums back on - Check in side of the drum for a ridge of metal where the drum lines have worn, Remove the ridge of metal . Two - punching the lock nut to tab it with a chisel - Use a small round end punch or cut off an old screwdriver . Do not use wire cutters to clamp the hand brake cable this can damage the cable . Find out the correct torque when locking the bearing nut as you could crush the wheel bearings . When replacing brake fluid check for the right the dot number . Wrong dot can cause later problems with the type of rubber seals used in your brake system . Dot 4 for a Peugeot 206 . If necessary to adjust your brake adjusters drill a hole in the brake back plate directly behind the adjuster you can use a screwdriver to adjust the drums when on the vehicle , remember to put a rubber seal in the hole you have drilled ( DIY ) shops usually sell rubber seals .

This video is HOW NOT TO CHANGE rear drum brakes. The only question I had in my head straight at the beginning of this video was: What on earth is that man doing?!
Its common use to leave them rubbing so the brakes would be crisper on the back and to be sure the brake shoes are engage at first use.... However its not bad leaving them not rubbing since it has an autoadjust mechanism that will bring the brake shoes in the correct position, but only after a few braking pedals and if the mechanism works ......
Slightly rubbing is a good indicator that the shoes have been expanded to the maximum limit. The self-adjusting mechanism should eventually take over from there provided it hasn't become seized with rust.
Thanks very helpful. Setup looks very similar to 2007 1.4 Pug 206 with Lucas system. Got wrong cylinder :-( but correct one on the way. Only problem is shoes are not pre-assembled. Should I return or can reuse springs?
This video is a horror example of what NOT to do..Or if you want to destroy the back brakes of your car. Use a pulley to get the drum out 3 arm type (not expensive) DON'T destroy the axle like this bend the nut locking open. Never use steel against steel when hammering use softer metal hammer (copper/brass/led or rubber mallet. Doing like this guy the brake drum could be dammaged NEVER EVER use a cable cutter to remove the parking brake wire the wire will be dammaged and snap in the near future and all have to be done once again for no reason at all.

I just want add in, that the tightening torque for axle nut is 200 nm/147,51 ft-lb

Oscar Thorpe why
Why is having the shoes rubbing slightly on the drum good? Would not it be better if they would not be touching the drum?
Its common use to leave them rubbing so the brakes would be crisper on the back and to be sure the brake shoes are engage at first use....
