Do you have Drum Brake tools for the springs?  I would offer to come over since I am so close, but I will be getting my Jeep ready for Saturday.  I'll be home after 1300, so feel free to stop by and borrow any tools you need, or if you want I can come on over and do it here.  You know how to get here, and my phone number is listed in the Members Section.

Drum Brakes are look intimidating, but really are not that hard. 

smaug1911:
I have the (for lack of a better word)..."spanner pliers" that stretch the springs. but I don't have the bolt removal tool.
I set the project up tonight...wheels are off and truck is on stands.

Planning to get started in the morning. I will give you a call if i am still working around 1300.

Thanks!

kirksjeep:
Sounds like a plan.

Too bad i read this to late.  I have everything you need and could have helped ya get it done in about 45 min.  dont forget to put the adjuster plugs back in when your all done adjusting the brakes.  they'll help keep the mud out.
