Do one side at a time. Simply remove and replace. Check every spring and fastner for wear, and replace as necessary.

Be sure and rebuild or replace the cylinders. If you don't, they are sure to leak.

At the bottom, theres a small screw adjuster. Crank it in to fit the the new shoes, and then adjust out as necessary.

Use a disc sander with about 220 grit to clean the inside of the drums.
