Replacing Rear Drums 95 c1500 suburban

[Frankb714]

I need to replace my rear drums and would like to do the whole set up. What exactly do i need besides the drums? Where is the best place to get my parts? Online? local parts store? i tried to look for it in the axle and brake section but i cant find exactly what i am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you know the drums are bad? Go to napa and tell them you want drums, shoes, and a spring kit! Get a new adjuster while your at it, since the oldie is either rusted or seized depending where you live.

X2 Just got rear brakes for my 05 drums shoes and hardware cheaper than anywhere I could find here in town. Plus we get a discount

haha im pretty much doing the same thing you are. i think the factory parts are still on my 96. all the parts are inexpensive but i dont feel like messing with drums so i think ill have them done.

Also might be worth it to replace the wheel cylinders, they were bad and leaking on my 96 when I bought my truck. When I swapped out my axle, I replaced the cylinders, backing plates, drums, shoes, and springs. That's everything. Even with all the weight and large heavy tires, truck stops on a dime now (all new in the front as well).
