Re: Drum Brake Pad Replacement?

Go for it!! It is intimidating at first when you take the drums off since there is a lot of parts, but if you take your time you should be ok. I did mine for the first time about 4 months ago and it was a little frustrating but after I got the first one done the second went quite smoothly. I would recommend buying a Haynes manual or something similar to help you. It has detailed pics and drawings that you can refer to if you get stumped. I'd also recommend going ahead and buying a new spring & parts kit if you're going to replace the shoes. The kit should be about $10 and you'll need 2 of them. Then you won't ever have to replace that stuff again.
