approximately how long should it take an idiot with very little expierience to replace the rear brakes and all the springs and stuff? need to know if i should wait

 

With all the right tools at hand, probably about 2.5 hours for a noob.

 

Dang could be longer. How much experience Do you have? Any? What's your tool situation like? Basics I'm sure. My first drum brake replacement when pretty bad. Mainly for the fact that the new brake shoes I received were the wrong size. I didn't compare the old with the new till I was like 4 or so hours in and very frustrated. I did the front too in that 4 hours but they were easy. It was actually someone else who told me to compare the two. Then new ones were a hair bigger so nothing fit right. I would print off what you can from here or any other website. Find out what you need or could use. Brake clean is a must in my book. Anti-seize as well. Usually another person(set of eyes) is always good. And if you run in to trouble there are a ton of people on here to help. Good luck and be patient if it gets rough.
