Going to be attacking the brakes on a 98 hawk six horse this weekend.  They are electric drum brakes.  Any hints tips instructions or pictures would be greatly apreciated.

tips?

its usually easier/cheaper to just replace the whole brake assembly, like this....

in theory; just pull the drum, unbolt the assembly, put the new one on, grease the bearings and get on down the road.

Shameless plug for my article on MrTruck.com

 It's really directed toward wheel bearings, but it's something you'll consider when doing the brakes.
