Re: Front shoe replacement
The front drums come off just like the disks do, remove the castle nut and pull. If the drum hangs on the brake shoes, you will need to knock out the "knockout" in the drum, a small oval near the outer edge of the drum. when the hole is at the bottom, you will see a "star" wheel, that is the adjuster. I don't remember if you turn the adjuster up or down to back the shoes off, it is fairly obvious, easier to turn when NOT pushing against the return springs. After thinking about it...I think you want to turn it down, On the rears, the auto adjuster pushes down FROM THE INSIDE OF THE STAR, which would be up from your point of view. With the rears, you need to push against the adjuster to get it away from the star, I don't believe the fronts are self-adjusting, so it should not be an issue.
Sorry, could not find a pic for you.
