That's a great tip from the GUN!! :)

That was the exact approach I took.  

With the ability of cell phones to take pictures these days, it has become so easy to snap a photo, then go back to it and review.

When you are ready to take a part off, take a picture of the assembly where it is, then when you are ready to put it back together you can scroll backward through the pics and have a good reference as to how it should go.  

You could then put all that together in a photo discussion and post it here for the rest of us!!!

A few pointers I can think of ....
1: Never take apart both sides at once. Always keep the opposite side together to use as a road map for reassembly.

2: Replace everything at one time. You are dealing with decades of wear and corrosion. Don't cheap out and only replace a few hydraulic items, do them all. Return springs should be all new.

3: Use the proper puller for the rear hubs. Any other puller than the three or 5 legged bolt to the studs and hammer on the cross bar type of puller will only frustrate you.

4: Make sure you take your adjusters apart, clean , relube, and reassemble properly. Before installing the drum the first time back them off all the way.

There is no online step by step that I know of. However there are lots of posts in all the different jeep forums dealing with hub removal, wheel bearing lubrication and adjustment, and brake adjustment. You might have to do a little more specific Googling for the posts.

Good luck, and keep the new shoes clean!

I've got 62 pounds of goodies showing up Friday and i'm not finding much in the way of on line help.
I've got all new front brake gear showing up and figured while i was in there i'd do the bearings as well
Also I've got all new brake gear for the back.

What I don't have is any on line resources that I can follow.  The service manual is a bit lame as far as any of this goes so I'm hoping for a page or two covering brakes and the such step by step.

Am I asking for something that doesn't exist?
