Maybe these Youtube vids from Van Steele will help you. They're not the greatest. Parking brake assemblies are a PITA.

Two words......Dental Floss.  Use it to compress the little springs that hold the shoes.  Thread or string will work too I guess.  Never used the "parking brake tool".  I thought that was the guy that designed them.  Wink

I think the majority of us have done them " in place" . As opposed to removing the trailing arm completely or even just removing the hub. Big Al
