Getting the Wheeling Fever
Thanks Adam. I'm probably going to call Carol today and get this stuff on order. I'll post back whether he has a ready made kit for it or not. He did have the top engine cleaner three part kit. That appears to be packaged by Southeast Toyota Dealers who I guess owns Gettel.

Also not a bad idea to put some anti-seize on all the pivots and friction points. Obviously, not so much that it will drip and run onto the brake shoes. I also anti-seized all the linkages and pivots in the e-brake assembly-works great! I'm kinda crazy with the anti-seize though-I put it on every nut and bolt I take off; unless it's supposed to have a thread-locking compound. In the future I want to be able to get those suckers back off.

Body Damage is Cool
Those are good solvents; I used them once, but Deep Creep and CRC Intake Cleaner now since shipping cost for small orders negates the bargain for me. Carroll is great, though. Our dealer only deals in part numbers and doesn't bundle anything not already bundled by corporate.

Hi-temp brake grease is recommended for the friction points, anti-seize for the adjuster threads, but as Perp said, so long as it's not drooling with the stuff it should be okay.

Uneven rear shoe wear is actually pretty normal, to a reasonable level. Thats because the action of the brakes when contacting the rotating drum causes the spring system to push out the lower part of the front shoe to make contact. As the back shoe is being pushed from the top, the ability of the lower part of that shoe to connect with the drum is diminished. Good brake springs, including the equalizer bar spring, is supposed to make up for this natural discrepancy, but it doea not. Soooooooo, long winded as it is, if the back shoe is greatly different from the front shoe, change all your springs. Hold down springs, when weak, cause side to side wear thickness. Bottom , top and equalizer bar springs are for front / back wear.
