Drum brakes are not that difficult. If you're not sure, just do one side at a time. Don't remove everything from both sides and then realize you don't remember what spring goes where. And if you're going to do that, take your digital camera or phone and take pictures as soon as you pull the drum off. That way, you'll have references either way you do it.

 

Just remember it's mirrored!

 

It's only mirrored if you don't take pictures. LOL Pull the drum, spray everything down with brake parts cleaner, let it dry and take a few pictures. Remove all of the pieces and put the new ones on, according to your picture. Put the drum back on and adjust the shoes to where they have a slight drag. Move to the other side and do the same thing. Make your final adjustments and lower it to the ground and try them out!

 

Mirror mirror on the wall
One wheel at a time or your efforts will fall
By the wayside cuz you screwed it up
Listen to Rube, he knows what's up
