any how to on rear brake drums?? i need to help my friend change his 97 ST....i converted mine ST to GT rear disc which was a paint in the a$$
any info would be great


Take off the wheel and stick a bolt into the hole on the drum. Turn it in and the hub will pop off. If the pads are worn down completely I would take the drums to a shop to have them turned. Then pop the spring off that connects the two shoes ( I think there is one on top and one on the bottom) and replace. Put the drums back on and call it a day.
