I have just replaced the shoes on my rear drums and I can't get the drums back over the shoes. If anyone has any pics that may help with this, that would be greatly appreciated. My last question is how do you adjust the shoes??

I got everything through Autozone. I got everything put back together properly. Since I have done is once I bet I could do each side in 20 minutes now...

Do you think its worth to upgrade the rears really? Ive heard mix stories on the drums and shoes being in pretty good condition after even 100k miles.

Im working towards upgrading the fronts with new pads and rotors, the rears are kind of up in the air.
