Rear drum brakes are easy. Take both rear wheels off and both drums, but do one side at a time. That way you have the other side to reference as to where the different springs go. Get some brake lubricant, and apply it to the spots where the shoes contact the backing plate. Most cars have a leading and trailing shoe. The leading shoe will have a shorter piece of friction and it always goes toward the front of the vehicle.
