It has been a long time since I worked on a drum brake system. To refresh my memory, do you have factory information on how to replace brake shoes step by step? I would appreciate it. Thanks

Hello,

See the diagrams below for rear shoe replacement procedures. I have also included the parking brake adjustment instructions as well.
Also included the wheel cylinder replacement procedure as well, just in case you run into a issue with the cylinder.

Just a note, you probably want to get a new bake hardware kit when you change the shoes, that will make it easier to finish.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
