anything to watch out for? done LOTS of pads, but its been a while since ive owned a car with rear drums.

its a fully prepped 73 240Z ITS road race car, if it matters.

thanks,

They are typical drums brakes. I would recommend the hardware kit ($10 extra and includes both sides) that includes new springs and clips. The hardware kits are available pretty much anywhere you buy brake shoes, including MSA.

I recently changed the brakes on my Civic and spent 1 hour doing the rotors and pads up front but probably 3 hours on the drums. Although, the Z brakes are larger which makes it a little easier to get your hands in there.

Have fun!

Just did mine last weekend, 1st time doing drums. Really easy compared to the front disks since those you have to disconnect the break lines and rebleed.
