Patience
::::::::::::::::::::::::
If you never did this before or have a hard remembering what you seen : a Digital Camera or camera Phone.
If you do not have this technology : use 2 jacks to lift car rear and remove both tires and brake drums : just remember that the parts must be opposite and not exact as seen on the other side otherwise you will have to do it again.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
next to the wheel is a lift point : usually a cut-out on the pinch of the body weld for lifting
break the nuts loose one turn : lift car.
remove wheel : the brake drum may be held by clips on the studs if this was never done before. use the pliers to putt off the clips: you will not be putting them back on so do not be gentle.
The brake drum slides off towards you.
Take a picture of the internals under the drum: you will be putting everything back to look like that.
disconnect one side at a time, replacing each part as you remove the old one.
It should take you about an hour if you keep everything together.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Short Path :
take it to a tire shop or Dealer and they will do it for you.
