I envy you guys with rear discs...I absolutely despise doing rear drums...I always have to snap a pic of how the springs are set up before taking them apart.

I need to do this too, my right rear has been glazed over since I paid the local guys to do them but they musta used the cheapest stuff available, they allready turned them to fix the glaze but it came right back. I think later this summer I am gonna order the entire kit from brake-motive.

Mine are good lol...I just hate doing drum brakes period...last time I had to do any is when I replaced the wheel cylinders on my S10...what pissed me off the most was the way GM made the wheel cylinders to the backing plate on the rear...it was just a pressure clip, thats all, no bolts. It literally takes 3 hands to get the pressure clip over the grooves in the new cylinders.
