Not that bad....  did you forget how you got them off???   LOL!!

Fronts.....  short lining to the front....long to rear..if they are 
different

Auto Adj.  arm in hole with cupped washer in between..C-clip last

Bottom Spring in both shoes.....fold one shoe over and slip Star in....pull 
shoes to normal position

lay against backing plate...inserting in WC  Rod Slots....they'll hang there 
now...

add retainer springs / washers/  retainers......install both upper tension 
springs

Pull up on AA Arm and  install  spring.

Wiggle around  to seat all pieces..

Rears........this is where practice helps!

line up shoes...  install  E brake arm with spring washer and then  clip to 
ouside

Do as in the Front...  BUT

do not forget to add the spreader bar and spring before installing retainer 
springs... then continue as in front.
