One of the tricky parts will be adjusting the E brake cam. You should definitely have the factory manual for this. The springs may be hard to come by, maybe Jim Carter would have them. There are retainer clips on the pins that hold the shoe assembly together. These are difficult to find new so if you can save them, that would be a good thing. Some of us believe that a C-clip of the proper size would do. Also if your E Brake cables are seized, you will need to free them. There are ways of doing this.

I don't understand the comment about the hub seals. The drums should come off with the hubs in place.
