The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Brake help needed.

First off do only one side at a time. That way you have the other side to use as a guide/reference. If you don't have some basic brake shoe tools this might be a good time to buy some.

Basically you are going to remove the Return springs, Hold down springs and disconect the parking brake cable. Then remove the old shoes and install new ones then reverse the proceedure for reinstalling the springs.

I would strongly recomend buying all new springs. Then lay them out just as the old ones are lined up on the wheel. Your local auto parts store should be able to tell you what tools you will need and how to use them. If not find a new parts store. It is not too complicated. Good luck!
