Here's how http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d800d1c84.jsp tells how to do it. (They have several good photos to help you that won't come through to YAnswers; just go to this link.)This isn't actually as hard as it may appear from the size of this article- it just has alot of details. You shouldn't have any problems doing this yourself.To remove the drums:Loosen the lug nuts on the rear wheels. Raise and safely support the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels and drums. (You may need to hit the drum with a rubber mallet to loosen it.) With the drums removed: Liberally spray the entire brake assembly with aerosol brake cleaner. Do not use other solvents, compressed air or a dry brush. Measure the thickness of the friction surface on each shoe at several different locations. If any measurement is below the minimum thickness, replace all the shoes (both sides) as a set. Check the contact surfaces closely for any signs of scoring, cracking, uneven or tapered wear, discoloration or separation from the backing plate. Anything that looks abnormal should be replaced. If the shoes are in otherwise good condition except for glazing (a shiny, hard surface), the glaze may be removed by light sanding with emery cloth. Also, lightly sand the inside of the drum to de-glaze its surface. Do not attempt to rub out grooves or ridges; this is best done with a resurfacing lathe. After sanding the components, wash them thoroughly with aerosol brake cleaner to remove any grit. To replace the pads:Saturate the rear brake assembly with brake cleaning fluid. On 1990 and later Accords, remove the upper return spring from the brake shoe. All springs and fittings should be labeled or diagrammed at the time of removal. The amount of time saved during reassembly makes the extra effort well worthwhile. Remove the tension pins by pushing the retainer spring and turning them. Slightly lower the brake shoe assembly and remove the lower return spring. This small spring can be removed using a pair of pliers Remove the brake shoe assembly. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever: Carefully slide the spring up the cable with a pair of needlenose pliers, then disconnect the cable from the lever Remove the upper return spring, self-adjuster lever and self-adjuster spring. Separate the brake shoes. Remove the wave washer, parking brake lever and pivot pin from the brake shoe by removing the C-clip. (Always use a new C-clip, also known as a U-clip) To install: Install the parking brake lever and wave washer on the pivot pin and secure with a new C-clip. Pinch the C-clip securely to prevent the pivot pin from coming out of the brake shoe. Connect the parking brake cable to the parking brake lever. Use a high temperature grease to lubricate each sliding surface of the brake backing plate Do not allow grease to come in contact with the brake linings. Grease will contaminate the linings and reduce stopping ability. Clean the threaded portions of the clevises of the adjuster bolt. Coat the threads with grease. Turn the adjuster bolt to shorten the clevises. Hook the adjuster spring to the adjuster lever first, then to the brake shoe. Install the adjuster bolt/clevis assembly and the upper return spring. Install the brake shoes to the backing plate. Install the lower return spring, the tension pins and retaining springs. On 1990 and later Accords, connect the upper return spring. Now to put the drum back on:Turn the adjuster bolt to force the brake shoes out until the brake drum will not easily go on. Back off the adjuster bolt just enough that the brake drum will go on and turn easily. Install the wheel; lower the vehicle to the ground. Depress the brake pedal several times to set the self-adjusting brake. Check the braking abilities.
