You normally undo the nut on the end of the front wheel spindle.
(Make sure front of bike is chocked up, or you have something soft to rest the ends of the forks on when you...)
Pull the spindle, & remove wheel.
With wheel out, brake back-plate will fall out of the drum.
You can then inspect the brake shoes, the cam that operates them and the drum. (the 'stuff' you reffer to!)
This is PRETTY elementary stuff and explained clearly in the work-shop manual.......
Drum brake arrangements DONT vary very much..... would not look MUCH different to teh pictures for any other drum brakes bike..... CG125, KH100, anything small and or old, basically.....
And err.. I HAVE to say.. if you call the working components of a brake 'stuff', becouse you dont know what they are called, dont know how to get at them, 'easily', like undoing two bolts is SO hard..... and dont even have a work-shop manual for the bike, you probably ought to be wheeling it to a dealers to do for you!
