i need to change the back shoes on my car, i did have the manual somewhere but lost it...

is it easy enough? i have changed all the cars i have had in my life. the handbrake don't work so that the reason, i know its been adjusted loads, and won't go any more. i have had new front brakes in the past but not replaced backs yet. is there anythong to look out for, or is it straight foward?

thanks in advance

Hi, the rear brakes are easy to do, the pads are fairly straight forward the park brake has shoes inside the disc, you have to remove caliper and anchor bracket then remove disc to gain access to shoes. I had a 99 voyager and the park brake did not work, it turned out the linkage had siezed on the park brake shoes. hope this helps.
