When I was 16, I had a 89' LX 5.0 mustang. When it came time to do brakes, I did the fronts by myself no problem. My father told me to pay attention - slowly took them apart, explaining as he went. He cleaned everything, installed the new parts. Then said - "Were you paying attention?" He then proceeded to take it back apart and walk away. I have had no problem assembling drum brakes since. I knew if I didn't figure it out - I'd be walking until I did. That was 17 years ago. I will admit that they can be a pain at times. Be sure to bring plenty of patience along with the parts & tools for the job.
