hahaha i just did this yesterday and let me tell you...set some time aside because it takes awhile.....ill try to temember somethings to help you....first take off the wheel then take off the cover to the brakes...i forget what it is called... then youll see what you need it to look like just remember where everypart goes.......make a diagram on paper if possible....on the left and right sides there are these flat pannel looking things with a small wierd hooklike thing ...push down on the square and turn the swith thingy sideways so it fits through the hole and then the brakes should come apart the rest is just undooing the springs and putting them onto the new shoes and the connectors.....after you are finished make sure you bleed your brakes and add more brake fluid and most importantly dont pull the e-brake up before you change them or while you are changing them because they will explode everywhere and its a huge mess! put your car in first and turn it off....anymore questions ill be glad to answer

its not that hard, just buy a haynes or chiltons manual, follow the instructions, do one wheel at a time so you can look at the other to make sure your putting it back together right. just be patient.

Get a book, it will help you out a lot. You can pick up a Haynes at any Pepboys.
It's not really that hard, you just have to know what it looks like when you're done.
Also you don't need to bleed your brakes after doing this. You will have to re-adjust some things though.
