okay, first off, i'd like to introduce myself. i'm josh, i'm 21, and i don't know much about cars. i've browsed the forum for the weekend and learned a lot about my truck (see subject) that the owners manual doesn't tell me, so thanks for that.

just on friday, on my commute from work, my brakes started acting funny. i'd have to depress the pedal further to get myself to slow and stop. as if on cue, my brake light came on. luckily, i got home in one piece and stopped the truck. i have brake fluid spraying out of the drum on the rear passenger wheel. i know i need to replace something in there, and from what i read, the whole drum is probably due for replacement. can you guys help me out with a list of tools i'll need, parts i'll need to buy, and (if i'm very lucky) a step by step on how to get these SOBs off.

thanks in advance,
-JE:headbang:
