never changed drum brakes
So yea, never had a car with drums in the rear ive had to change personally, Just looked them up on rockauto.com and it shows brake drums and the whopping price of : $18.88 a piece.
So not having ever done them (im sure its easy) do i just need to order new drums and swap them on? remove ebrake lines, smack with a sludge and then swap em over or what? $18 bucks seems way to cheap for drums but then again i have no idea.
Car is 2007 with 80k original drums. any help appreciated, ill have to get them done at the next NE mod meet.

if they are original drums the shoes may have warn into the drum creating a lip on the inside edge of the drum that can make it a bitch to get the drum off, just back the rear brake off a little bit (providing you can on these cars, ive never done drums on a balt and i have discs) changing the drum is pretty much pull of the drum put the new one on and adjust the brake (unless their self adjusting)
changing the shoes can be a pain in the butt because of all the little pieces other then that its not to hard with the proper hold down spring and brake tools. :P
