Hi there,

This is not hard the main thing is to make a sketch of how it all fits together, made a drawing showing the shoes (leading & trailing) different lining lengths, position of all springs & clips, do one at a tine so you can also look at the other side to make sure that it is correct, if in doubt get a mechanic to do it, you should also be replacing the wheel cylinders as well.
