Go to parts store and purchase replacement brakes. Drive home. Use jack to elevate the tire off of the ground that needs changed brakes. Loosen lug nuts. Take off wheel. Take off Drum. Take off crazy twisty springs (remember how they came off, they go on the same way). Youll find a small tubuler piece of metal with a gear in the middle and both sides are notched to fit into the brake shoes. Thake it and twist it down to where it gets smallest. put the brakes back togather ( I know those springs are tough without the right tool right?) put drum back on. Put wheel back on. Take core back to parts store to receive core refund.
You may want to check the brake shoes before buying new ones. I am asuming that the drum brakes are for the rear wheel correct. Rear brakes do so little that they do not wear easily and rarely need replaceing. You will probably replace your front brakes 8 or 9 times before noticeing any wear on the rear brakes.
This will greatly depend on what kind of brakes you have and which parts you are trying to replace. Do you have disc or drum brakes? If you have disc brakes, do you want to replace the calipers, pads, or rotors? If you have drum brakes, do you want to replace the drum, or the shoes?
Drum brakes are one of the easiest brake jobs to preform, but remember you may have to have your drums professional turned or possible replace them if warped.

sound like you have "grabbing" brakes to me. i would check them for contamination and if they are then you will need new brakes and to replace all rubber components, and if your brakes are not contaminted i would start checking wheel bearings, warped rotor or drum, and the balance of your tires. i would check your rotor or drum first, that is most likely the cause
Check related links below for drum brakes.
If they are drum brakes then yes they are self adjusting, But they never adjust themselves right. You will need to adjust them. If they are discs brakes then there is no adjustment. ( replace pads)
Drum.
First, determine if they are disc or drum. If drum, remove the drum and replace the shoes. If they are disc, remove the caliper (and disc if necessary) replace the shoes and reassemble.
No, the value will not change at all. If you replace drum brakes with drum brakes as you said youwe're doing, it is the same as it is now, so no value change there unless you change something and replace it with something different, then you may have some value change.
Replacing drum brakes requires that you have special equipment and is rather sensitive work. Remember that a mistake here can be devastating, and make sure you're up to the task. If you decide to do the work yourself, you can find step-by-step instructions at http://www.wikihow.com/Replace-Drum-Brakes.
