Hyster s50xl Brakes

Hi,
New to the group.
Have a s50xl, master cylinder was sticking, replaced it, bled brakes and still an issue except no more sticky MC
Absolutely no air in the system but very hard to stop, pulled the drums and shoes are great, hardware is all clean and present, but when pedal is pushed the wheel cylinders don't move. Ordered ne ones but can not get 1 bolt out of the back, I am attaching a photo show the bolt and what the metal piece that is blocking getting a wrench to it.
Thanks

You must remove the brake line than remove the stud in the middle of the wheel cylinder were you removed the springs you have to remove the complete backing plate to change the wheel cylinder. Hope this helps.
