Drum brakes replacement parts?

[msg]

Ive never done any brake work other than dismantle the ones I have. I had taken this all apart a few years back and saved all the parts thinking to maybe sandblast them but I would think a replacement kit would be a better idea. How can I order the right replacements and rebuild them. And I guess more importantly is this something a newbie can handle you think?

You can reuse the springs ,just replace the shoes and wheel cylinders .

Yes, certainly a job a newbie can handle. Clean it all up and paint it, throw on some new shoes and wheel cylinders if needed and move on.

Do 1 side at a time. That way you can always look at 1 that is still together.

Newbie should be able to do it. Take your time and use you picture above as a reference. Should be plenty of You Tube videos to watch too.
