I'm headed over to the shop in an hour to change out the rear brake shoes. I've never done it before. Bought new shoes,
checked the drums for "gouges", and I got some brake cleaner and a hefty little tool for the springs.

Best advice given today's easy to use tech, is TAKE A PICTURE (phone pic should be fine) of the brake hardware after you get the drum off but before you start anything else, to use as a guide for how it goes back together.
Don't count on any spring tool to be less frustrating than a pair of pliers.
Good luck!
I'm debating whether to drop the inner fender to get at the heater core or a handful of more productive small projects.
