Does anyone know of a complete assembly you could bolt on foregoing the whole rebuild process of rear brakes?
-
Including backing plates? No, Drums are pretty simple, you would have to take everything off and then put it on individually anyway...
-
Yes, including backing plates and drums. Isn't it 4 bolts, 1cable and the brake line? I have no brake tools and little time these days and very little trust in brake shops
-
All you need is a long phillips head screwdriver and some pliers. You have to get the shoes and hardware off to get the brake cylinder loose from the backing plate to remove the 4 bolts.

Plus, I have never seen or heard of a complete "kit" all in one piece. Like Capt. said, you have to take it apart to get to the bolts to put it back on.

I never owned any brake tools till I was about 18. I did plenty of drum brakes before that age. Vise grips, pliers, few screw drivers.

Just do one side at a time and use the opposite side for reference.
And when your putting the new return springs back on the shoes, use a big screwdriver. pliers just cause alot of cursing and swearing.
