Rear brakes - '98 Malibu

[lbjgh]

I'm looking for directions to replace the rear pads on my '98 Malibu. Anyone done 'em before that can provide some tips? Also, has anyone scanned the service mauals for this work?

Are they discs or drums?

Drums on the back.

I pulled the wheels/brake drums this morning and manually adjusted the rear brakes up.

There was a decent amount of pads and after I adjusted 'em up the soft brake pedal was gone and the parking brake was nice and firm.
