Disk brakes should appear as shiny plates with the calipers on top and in full view. Drum brakes will appear as a 'bowl' which make telling them apart instant.

How do you tell the difference between Rear Drum Brake and Rear Disc Brake?
If you can see the brake caliper and rotor, then it has disc brakes. If all you see is a large drum then it has shoes. If you can see the front brakes thru the wheels, you can identify disc brakes. If the rear look like the front, then they are also disc brakes. However if the rear look much different, then chances are they are drum.

Does anyone have any idea on how to install the rear brakes for a 96 chevy Blazer; and where are the springs suppose to latch onto to hold the pads together.?
i cant tell you exatly how to do it but i can tell you how to figure it out i hope it is not tore apart already, if not my honest advice is to jack up both sides take both drums off, replace the pads from one side at a time. if it is already torn apart go to a junk yard with a digital camera, and take a pict of any GM rear axle with the brakes on it but no drum GM has been using the same setup for its drum brakes since the early 60s

Rear brakes do not have to be replaced too often. It's really hard to tell without looking at it. What you can do is to replace front brakes and test drive it, if you feel that your car brakes works just fine you do not need to replace rear brake shoes.

What would cause a loud grinding noise when brakes are applied even after brakes parts has been replaced?
It is a cause and effect thing. Was the other axle inspected if all the brakes, front and rear, were not replaced? Can you tell where it's coming from at all? Is the noise identical from when before the brakes were replaced? Year, make, model and mileage would help as well. Drum on rear? Don't assume the brakes were done correctly. Believe it or not, I have done a few where someone put the pads in backwards with the backing plate against the rotor. If someone worked on it for you, take it back to them and complain.
How can you tell what size your brakes are?
Take the wheels off and measure the diameter of the brake rotor (disc) or drum with a ruler or tape measure.
