First, you need to have the right brake tools. Any parts store has them, but without them, your just giving yourself more misery than anything else. The easiest way to do any drum brake is one side at a time, and use the other side as a reference. Take off one spring at a time, and put it on the ground in front of you in the position it goes on the truck. A soft cover Chilton book for your specific truck is extremely helpful, as it has the pics, and step bt step instructions, also available at a parts store. Another is Chilton DIY.com, it costs like 20 bucks a year, but you have the entire service manual right there if you need it. Good luck.How do you change drum brakes on a rwd dodge dakota?
