By 'shoes', I assume you mean the rear drum brake assembly. Start by doing one side at a time. This way you have the other side to compare to, noting where all the springs and connectors go. There will be springs on the top arm that need to come off, with two brake tools for drum brakes. One removes springs, the other removes the side springs. As long as you have the other side to compare to, you can't get lost. Make note of which way the adjusters go, very important. Don't blow off the brake dust and dirt etc, spray it with brake cleaner and recover the fluid. Sand down the outer edge of the drum to eliminate the rust ridge. Then after brake assembly is fitted, fit drum to barely snug tight. Put drum on and turn brake asembly to see fitment. Keep putting drum on and off and screw the adjuster out until the drum feels barely snug on the assembly.
