Default Changing the shoes without breaking the brakes (KE Laser)

Hi guys...

Changing the rear drum brake shoes on a KE Laser hatch.... I've never changed drum shoes before as all my cars have had discs, this is my girlfriend's car.

Anyway, can someone please give me a quick run down on what tools i need, and anything important i need to know? I'm pretty good at picking up new things just need to know what to watch for.

Cheers

Luke.

The wear limit on the drums is only 1mm. Standard measurement=200mm.
Self adjusters will be at their limit with over 1mm drum wear.
