Default Mini Trail Bike Brake Issues

i have a mini trail bike made by baja motor sports. i have had the bike for a couple weeks now. i recently brought it to some trails down in mexico where there were many points where braking was required. i rode for a couple hours that day and now the brakes make an ear piercing screech when you brake at any speed. they are drum brakes. a friend told me that my brakes have "glazed" over from overheating and smoothening them selves out. he reccomended to roughen them up, but i have no idea how to get inside of the drum brakes. do i need to take the whole wheel off?
