Buy?beg/borrow a Haynes manual.

Not recommended job for those without organisational skills or ability with lego or diy...

Easy if you keep track of where everything is and which way it is assembled. Do it wrong and your brakes go..

If you have to ask, get expert help is my advice...

If you have a digital camera, take some pictures before and during dis-assembly, or even some drawings. This should help to identify where all the various springs and linkages fit and which way round the shoes fit (leading and/or trailing etc.)

As MAAF says, if you are really not sure or confident then have someone else do it. Please don't take risks with brakes! :)

Good morning! Thank's for the reply!!! I go for it!!!

take particular note of how the tensioning spring for the automatic adjuster pawl is fitted. It is the same spring on both sides of the car, i.e. they are not handed, it fits over the aduster rod on one side of the car and under it on the other. So you need to photograph both sides as there is this slight difference. It had me puzzling for a few minutes the first time.

Hello! Job done!!! I spend 25€ and that's it!!!! Very easy and strait forward!!!

Well done.

Hopefully you supported the vehicle other than just relying on the flimsy, supplied jack, as seen in your first picture?

I know you're not working under the car but if it "fell" off the jack while you were working as in the second picture you'd have a very sore leg! Plus a damaged car. ;)
