I know this isn't for my Cobra, but it's for the winter beater. I need to do the rear drum brakes, and never did them before. I have done the disc brakes before. SO does anyone know of any really descriptive sites that shows how to do stuff like this?


Thanks

i did it on my parents windstar. had a service manual that went through rebuilding drum brakes step by step. pick one up. at pep boys they had the pads and a kit that had all of the little parts inside...springs and stuff.

Best advice is to do one side at a time. That way you have a template for when you forget which spring goes where.

Best advice is to get a service/Chilton/Haynes manual.
