ding, chevy venture van uses the same rear drums. This should be very helpful

Make sure that it's unloaded before disassembly...

Turn the adjuster all the way in or you will never get the drum over the new shoes.

I have done a few drum brake jobs, not really that hard. Most Mercedes have them for the parking brake...

The little round metal thing to the far right in the graphic for 'brake hold down spring kit' is pushed in with the tool, then it's turned, and it realeases from the 'brake hold down pin' on the other side of the brake, to the left in the graphic.

The tool:



This spring holds the shoes firm against the back stop steel, whatever that's called.
