Default DIY for rear wheel bearing?

I haven't pulled the thing apart yet, but the right rear making an awful howling. I think it's time to replace it.
This is a standard hatch, so of course it has the drum brakes in the rear. Now I can swap out discs in less than one run session at the track (both sides under 20 minutes at 12 million degrees) but I've honestly never taken apart drum brakes that I have to put back together.
Anyone have a DIY or write-up on this? My two downloaded EF PDF manuals have absolutely no mention of this procedure.
Sorry for the lightweight question, I just need a little guidance for my weekend project.

ONLY DO ONE SIDE AT A TIME... refer back to the side you have not taken apart and view it as a mirror image.

Watch out... the wheel cylinders are hydraulic and you don;'t want to push them in/out past their normal travel distance.
