cliff notes: 1.http://www.google.com 2. type how to drum brakes

 

First jack up the rear one at a time there are those little jack spots right next to the wheel. Take the wheel off and you will see your little drum brakes and here is the fun part pick a side(top of bottom) and hit it with a umm rubber hammer sometimes works i always use my tire iron though trust be it wont hurt the damn thing, that cover will come off now your lookin at a whole bunch of springs and two long pads at the top of the inside. You only have to take off the spring in the middle and the pads slip out put the new ones in and get that spring in.. thats the hardest part. Then Hit the cover back on and wheel on and next one! Oh and the pads come with directions on the part of taking the shoes out. P.S. USE THE SEARCH!!! =p UUUU makes me feel so cool

 

you unbolt the trailing arms and take out the e brake cables then install the rear disc setup ...

I just took my rear drums off my 99 EK. I'll give you a good price if you're interested! Their in excellent shape and have about 63K miles on them.

See my cardomain link below for pictures.

Easy take about as long as doing your rear brakes.
