Bill,

I'd spend the extra money for OEM shoes from the dealer. From what others have said, non OEMs can bind, don't engage well, etc.

Here is a PDF tutorial via the Tundra board. Get the 3M stuff if you can find it. The brakes are easy but a little time consuming, with drum removal being the biggest PITA. I'd check my cylinders before buying new ones just by removing the dust boots to check for wetness:

Be more specific. Are you sure its not leaking rear axles? That would be a whole other mess to deal with.
