Parking Brake Shoe Replacement Procedure?

[Astronomer]

Could someone post a link to a pictorial guide/video to replacing the parking brake shoes on a manual transmission 2007 H3?
I think I see what to do, but some of it looks a little tricky, especially the top spring. It would help tremendously to see what's what, don't want to chance messing things up. Thanks!

YouTube university! Those parking brake shoes are just like any drum brake assembly. Only thing special are the actuator levers that get connected to the cables. After you install new shoes, you may need to adjust the cable (located under the drivers door) to get the rotors on.

I've watched some of the drum brake videos. I guess what has me concerned is the top spring, it appears to be behind a "lever"(?) that attaches to the parking brake cable at the rear of the hub. Do I have to remove the cable and release the "lever" so I can access the spring? Or can the spring be removed without doing anything else? It looks hidden.

I know you've probably already done your brakes, but for anyone else - It's actually below the lever and the brakes are pretty easy to replace. When you reassemble, be sure to turn in the adjuster (small toothed wheel) at the bottom of the assembly. This will alleviate having to mess with the cable. After you get it all back together, apply and release the parking brake several times to reset the adjuster and put the shoes firmly back against the drums.

Remove parking break shoes VERY easy.. most trouble with removing breaking cable.. i use knife to do it.. after you remove old ones put new one and put drum on place. use adjaster (thing with teeth) to make new shoe as closer to drum as possible. test by turning drum..
