You just need to get in there, and get your hands dirty. You might want to find a friend who has tinkered with brakes before. Buy him a 6 pak and spend an afternoon learning what makes your car stop. It%26#039;s more important than making it go. Good luck.|||First thing not to do is tear down more than one set of brakes at a time! If you get confused you can look at the other side for Reference, It%26#039;s much easier if you have a brake spring tool( There cheap at sears) The lining on one shoe will be a little shorter than the other,(This is called the trailing shoe.) It Always installs on the back side of the backing plate, In other words toward the rear of the vehicle. Adjustment is achieved by turning the self adjuster either clockwise or counterclockwise.(Located at the bottom of the shoes,Holding the bottom of the shoes apart),It will have a little wheel on it that looks like a boot spur. E brake is adjusted by the turnbuckle on the E brake cable running under the car to the rear brakes, If it still rolls when in park it may not be going into park all the way or you have a bad parking pawl inside the 2 speed powerglide transmission. This is where a 10 or 15 dollar haynes manual from an auto parts store would realy come in handy. If you get the brakes adjusted to tight and can%26#039;t get the drum back off you can stick a screwdriver into the slot on the back side of the backing plate and turn the spur wheel to loosen them. just remember, one wheel at a time. Hope this helps, back in the day, Thats the car i took my driveing test in, Loved that car, Wish i would have kept it!
