Rear brake (drums) shoe replacement help.
Im gonna take on the task of replacing the rear brakes on my 98 F150 (4x4, 4.6L if it matters). Its got the good ol' fashioned drum/shoes combo. Any special tools needed ? Also if anyone has a condensed version of a how-to it would be appreciated.

i never really used any special tools.. unless u consider a pair of vise grips and pliers special...i remember it taking like an hour or so to figure out one side, then it took like 20 mins for the other side.. lol
disassemble one side at a time so u always have a reference, incase u forget where things go

Are there any special tools required in brake drum replacement? I have a leaky rubber seal in my wheel cylinder, so I am going to replace the shoes and wheel cylinder.
Any suggestions? I would appreciate it.

Quick question here, I have never done a drum brake change before but i like to try things myself first.
Im not sure if the rear drum brakes are gone in my truck, sometimes it seems to stop "alright" and then sometimes u press the pedal about halfway in and doesnt do much. then you press it a little more and the truck nose dives and grabs hard.
My first thought was that its relying on front brakes only to stop the truck and it needs new rear shoes or something??
