brake drum cylinder removal question
 
I have a 96 2.4l cavalier with a leaking rear brake drum cylinder and so far so good as I've taken off the drum and shoes etc along with loosening the brake line.
But I'm not sure how the cylinder gets removed.
Is it held in place by a couple of star headed screws that I would remove from the back?

So I went out an bought a Haynes Manual but all it says is remove the two bolts (big help).
It would appear there are 'female torx sockets' out there so I'll look for that.
Update:
Got the e-torx required to remove the cylinder but now it looks like I can't remove it from the car without also removing the 4 hub bearing bolts to get enough clearance.
Sigh, it just seems to get more involved at every turn. Now I need a 55 Torx bit (back to the auto store).
Update 2:
Gave up. Couldn't get the bottom two hub bolts off so put er back together and will take it to the garage tomorrow.
