Though a few more pieces are involved, redoing Drum Brakes are a breeze.

Turn the Drums smooth, ark the new Shoes to the new diameter, redo the Brake Cylinders while you're back there, and you're home free !

A careful look at how the Emergency Brake Leaver is placed, or go to UTube for a nice video or picture of the assembly may be necessary.

Remember, the short Shoe goes to the front of the vehicle

Good Luck !
