How to do rear drums

I found this how-to article browsing around looking for info about replacing the wheel seals, and thought it was awesome and would help other people out too. The pictures were especially helpful, hope others learn from it too

Thanks for posting. I never thought of using a "C" clamp to hold the shoes in place for those retainer springs. I've wrestled with those 3/4 ton brake retainer springs in the past. Will have to on my own rig soon.
Good Job.

Yes, thanks for letting others know. I didn't think about using the c-clamp either! It's that "Old dogs-new trick" thing again.

When I read that I smacked my forehead and laughed. I had my four year old daughter out there with me trying to explain to her how to hold the shoe just like this...no like this sweetie....okay see how I'm doing this here, do it just like this....okay one more try watch how daddy does it lol. I did the front and rear drums and constantly kept thinking how one more hand would be worth a million bucks
