Changing brakes on a 1996 nissan 200sx?

This is the first time since I've owned this car that I'm changing the rear brakes on this car. They are drum, which involves the springs etc., how difficult is this job really going to be for me., what special tools might I need to get this job done before the workweek starts again.Changing brakes on a 1996 nissan 200sx?
The drums are not too bad. Get a good pair of pliers or Vice grips to make this job easy.



I would recommend you go to youtube.com and watch someone do rear brakes. The hardest parts are putting the e-brake back on the new shoes. Since they have retaining ring clip. The second hard part is the springs. Vice grips works very well compared to using pliers or channel locking pliers.



Some people have a hard time doing this. But once you do it they are all about the same. Now some cars do not have springs but have this bent rod shaped like a horse shoe that pulls the shoes back to place and only have 2 springs with nail like piece and a twist lock cap.Changing brakes on a 1996 nissan 200sx?
