Hey guys. Tomorrow I'm replacing the brake shoes on my '73 that's been sitting for 5 years (brakes being the reason why) Anything I should know/do tomorrow before I tackle all of this?

Do one side at a time. Take photos at every step. Specially of this is your first brake job. Buy alot of brake cleaner cans.
Make sure the every pleace the shoes rub on the backing plate, you put a dab of grease.
Get the drums turned if they are out of round.

Alright! Thanks! Yeah this will be my first time tomorrow, but this is step 1 in getting her back on the road.
