This is much more difficult than replacing disc pads. You will need 2 special tools, a Multi-Purpose Brake Tool, and a Brake Shoe Adjustment tool, for this job. Do not skimp, buy the tools, as it will make the job much easier. Also purchase a can of spray brake cleaner. Rather than try to list how this is done here, I will post a link. Tip, take photos of the assembly with a digital camera before taking anything apart. That way you can look at the photo if you get confused.
