I think I may have an intermittently binding brake on one rear wheel.

How do the parking brakes work? Do they actuate the pads onto the disks, or is there a drum and shoe arrangement inside the hub?
 
Is it easy to get the drum off? Is the drum an integral part of the disk?
 
Drum is integral with the disc.

To remove:

1 Remove brake caliper.
2 Remove set screw.
3 Back off shoes using a screw driver through the large hole in the hub.
4 Pull off (with aid of mallet if necessary).

Or read this, from the other side, with photos:
