I'm old enough to well remember doing brake shoes on all 4 wheels. (There used to be a core deposit on the shoes.) I remember if you rode the brakes too much (long downhill stretch) you had plenty of pedal but no stopping (really bad coming out of the mountains).
Self adjusting brake shoes were an improvement and then disc brakes made a world of difference. It was a much easier process.
I don't envy you working on them but our 99 Sienna has rear brake shoes so I still get that treat once in a while. I should have bought the spring pliers to make it easier but I've stuck with the screwdriver prying method.
Good luck and give yourself a pat on the back when you're done. I hope it eliminates the squeak.
