Chuck,
Your mechanic removed the whole brake assembly, not just the brake drum. That assembly must be dissembled to change the brake shoes. You should also be billed for two seals, as both seals have to be removed to disassemble the brake assemble far enough to change the brake shoes. He may also elect to change the two bearings. There is no rear transmission seal. The ZF emergency brake assembly houses the seal that retains the transmission fluid. All is well. The transmission will stop leaking when the ZF emergency brake is reinstalled. Your tranny is a 4R100.
