With the wheel off the drum should theoretically come off at that point. However they did tend to rust on. First method was to stick some 8mm bolts into the little holes that were there for the purpose of removing the drums. Warming up the flat part around near the hub also helps....just propane warm, not oxy acetelene hot. A couple taps with the hammer between the wheel bolt holes will usually break them free. Sometimes you will have to back off the brakes to get the drums off.
The shoes on the Iltis were quite thin. The linings were originally rivetted, so it seemed like the vehicles were always grounded because the mechanic deemed them too thin. They eventually made them with bonded linings so you could get a lot more life out of them.
Sorry, I can't help you on the manual end.....I was not a big fan of the Iltis and believe they should have all been smelted. But some of the others here are suckers for punishment....they will be along soon with their knowledge of where to find manuals.
