I would STRONGLY suggest that you purchase a "Drum Brake Hardware Kit".
This kit will include ALL the springs, including the self adjuster springs, and new hold down hardware.
The kit is cheap....and well worth getting....and will make the job easier, and more reliable.

I have pictures posted of my rear drum brake job in the pictures that are in the link in my "signature"

I bought new self adjusters, but did not need to......

I also bought new Bendix brand brake drums, but did not need to.....
I painted the drums also..... but NOT the frictional surfaces.
I was trying to do a "complete" job.

I posted pictures of what is included in each of the kits.

The hardware kit is shown in black....because I painted it also..... got carried away with the spray paint.

The '96 windstar came with organic linings for the drum brake shoes, so that is what I bought under the Bendix brand name at Advance Auto.

I would recommend that you buy some Disk brake caliper lube, and lubricate at the places shown in my pictures.
Don't over do the goo.
You do NOT want to get lubricant onto the friction surfaces.

Also, purchase LOTs of Brake cleaner to spray down things.....
You also want to spray down and clean the gear and sensor at each side for the wheel speed sensor.
