Guide for drum shoe replacement?

I'm doing the rear brakes on my 95 E150. I have new shoes, drums, and hardware/springs from Amazon on the way, as well as the cheap tools to do the job.

I'm pretty young and have only ever done disks. Any advice or tips and tricks?

Any tutorials for the Ford brakes? I've tried to search here and google and largely struck out on guides/tutorials/DIYs

Thanks,
Jason

As much as I dislike the Haynes or Chilton variety of manuals they might contain enough vehicle type & year information to give you a good working knowledge how to proceed with this operation.

There is also a brake and suspension-specific forum here on FTE---might get a lot of very helpful advice there too. Brakes, Steering, Suspension, Tires, & Wheels - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
