Does anybody have the basic steps? I have the manuals but they are not clear. Thanks. It is a drum system.

I used a haynes manual for our trucks when I did mine and had good luck. Take lots of pics for reassembly! 2 out of 10 for difficulty just follow the drum brake instructions in the manual and it gives a lot of front end info to help out with the bearings too.

Thank you, it was easy, except removing the first race which felt welded in. Other than that, it went real smooth.
