My drums are original (1995) and I want to replace them. I have replaced pads and rotors before but never drums. I really don't want to replace the shoes, just the drums.

Step 1- take wheel off
Step 2- basically slide the old drum off
Step 3- put new drum on (one that is already turned)
Step 4- put wheel back on and drive away

Is this all I would have to do ?

thanks

ummm.. you'll need to replace the pads, is that what your asking, the pads inside .. you'll need to replace the shoes.. thats the pad...

yea but do I really need to replace the shoes ?

your gonna need a hammer for the drum for sure, uhmm when you throw the pad on you have to go in reverse so it adjust themselves. and thas basically it. get a hanes manual from like autozone it's got a lot of uselful info.

hey bat, give me a call, ill drive over and give ya a hand.. >>

just make sure to release the parking brake....i cant believe how many people forget to do that
