Jason,

Tips for the rear drums---I have two things, other than the fact that I've never used special tools on the rear drums.

When you get the drum off and the innards exposed, take a good quality picture. This helps immensely when you need to put everything back together.

Never, ever, take both rear drums apart at the same time. Work on one, and finish it. Be sure that things go back together right. If you have a problem, and the picture isn't quite enough, you have the other side to look at.

Hope this helps.
