The rear brake job is not difficult. My advice is take a picture of the opposite and fully assembled side. I remove the shoe hold-down springs, pop off the two shoes and longer retaining springs, then bend the assembly around to remove the e-brake cable. I would at this point also replace the halfshaft bearing, just because you have the piece off. A novice drum brake person should expect at least 1 hour for the first side for the R&R, less for the second.
