Rear brake drum shoe change

[antone]

Hi all,

I'm hoping I can manage doing the rear brakes after replacing the front pads/rotors.

I tried searching but not much details on the work involved. I've gone over the repair manual. Wondering if you can share your experiences.

I haven't actually taken the drum off to inspect but I figure since it has never been changed (2007, with 110,000kms) and already doing the fronts. I won't have to worry about it for another 100k.

Other than getting new drums and shoes, should I spend the extra to get the spring kits or do most people re-use existing?

Appreciate it!

Thanks
Antone
