@Larime & Zman - Thanks, just finished the rear brakes (both sides weren't working, shoes to the metal on one side and one shoe broken on the other...and no E brake.) Great pics, exactly what I needed. I did one side at a time, replaced cylinders, drums and shoes..bought a spring kit, and spring pliers, which I haven't used before, but they were well worth the 9.99. Now when I step on the brakes I almost throw myself through the windshield. Also make sure you have some brake fluid on hand, I had to stop when I was bleeding the brakes as I nearly ran my fluid low.

That's what the info is here for. On a side note, adjust your rear brakes every oil change, whether or not you do the reverse thing to help adjust them.
