rear brake shoes ford focus?

how do i replace brake shoes
lee, October 2008
Make sure car is on level surface, it's in gear and hand brake is off.
Loosen wheel studs
Jack car up at relevant rear corner
Remove wheel
Use axle stand to hold weight of rear axle before going any further.
Remove the four bolts from behind the wheel hub (fiddly to get to).
Hub pulls off with drum exposing brake shoes and assembly.
Take a photo of shoes before removal.
Remove old shoes with all springs etc.
Replace shoes and assemble in reverse order. Refer to photo if you run into problems.
