How do I know if I need to replace the rear brake drums?


Take the rear drums off and inspect the shoes. If they are really thin or the rivets are starting to contact the drum it's time to change them. Shoes last a good while, but are much much harder to change than discs.
If you diy, do one side at a time so you can see how all the springs go back into place.

I've got a guy that will do both for me for $100. I'm gonna buy the parts just don't wanna buy the rear setup if I don't need to.

He'll do the front for $40. I've read its simple, but I'd rather pay.
