take off the snap rings and it will come apart.

Like Strigoi said, there is a snap ring in the back that will separate the drum so you can wipe it clean. I got oil in mine once, it wouldnt grab at all.

i took the snap ring off but it still wont come of, ther is a lip on the end were the snap ring is held on and i cant get it past that point.

are you using snap ring pliers to get it off?

No i have the ring off..But the lip that ring clips to is preventing me from smoothly slipp the houseing away from the clutch

Sometimes they are tight or the lip is slightly peened. Twist while pulling, if it absolutely wont come off remove a small amount of metal evenly around the lip but go easy.

If the shoes are really oily , remove the springs and clean everything. You will definitely need snap ring pliers for the other clip.
