Changing rear drum brakes?

[Bauer4665]

Hey, I have a 1999 Lumina 3100 sedan. Is there a resource somewhere on the internet or someone on this website that can give me a description on how to change the rear drum brakes?

Thanks.

Have you tried www.autozone.com?

Why not buy the Haynes shop manual at Autozone?

Along the lines of the rear drums..

Anyone have any thoughts of converting the drums to disc brakes? Calipers, rotors, and the parking brake actuator are all that's involved, I *think*.

Anyone undertake this before?

Sounds like a sick idea! Would any modifications need to be done to the suspension?

Not to my knowledge. It'd just be a matter of removing the drum assembly, slapping a rotor on it, put the caliper assembly on and run the lines to it.

Of course, I haven't undertaken this yet, but I'm pooling my resources to it after I have a look at my fuel level sending unit :P
