d60 rear brake question
so i searched and found that the spindle nut socket i need is a 2 9/16's to get my brake/hub crap apart. are there any other obscenely large or specialized tools i will need once i get into it? all i'm doing is replacing some wheel cylinders, but as most of you know i despise brakes and i'v also never done any drum brake work before. just wanna make sure i have all i need to get the job done so i don't end up making multiple trips to town for odds and ends, gas ain't cheap nowadays

Nothing special needed. The springs can be a PITA, they make a special tool to remove them, but I always used needle nose or a screwdriver. They also make a special tool for the adjuster also, so you can add or remove tension on the shoes, but a good ol' flathead can be used here too
