Drum brakes need a special pair of pliers to grip and compress the springs to remove or install them. These are available, usually quite cheaply in auto parts stores.

Does an mgp flex brake work when you step on it or is it like a fake brake?

It is a fake brake! If you are riding on a flat dry surface it works, but gets super hot. If you are riding on a hill or wet surface it just doesn't work. Wrote to MGP about this. They replied with a picture of the safety sticker which says the scooter should not be used in the wet or on hills. They also suggested I buy a new brake (which is the type they used before the flex brake). My advice. Do not get MGP with a flex brake.
