Not too hard to change if you wind in the hand brake adjustment to get the shoes away from the drum.
Done by removing wheel then looking through a wheel bolt hole at about 2-3 o'clock. Will see a slotted adjustment wheel, poke flat bladed screwdriver through the hole and wind the wheel so the shoes come away from the drum. Then the disc should come off easily..
