You should be able to see the wedge through one of the wheel bolt holes in the drum but you will need a torch, it's at about 10 o'clock. Get a screw driver and push the wedge all the way up of both sides then get some one to press the brake pedal hard and then pull both wedges down with the screw driver through the brake drum into the hole in the wedge, a philips head screw driver works best.
Picture of where the wedge is on this web site.
