DIY Rear Drum advice
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a good DIY they can reference for doing my rear drums as well as perhaps the best kit to buy for the job.
I searched the forums but didn't find anything as detailed as I would like.
I had about 35% remaining in Jan, I can feel the breaks are just barely functional now so it's time to stop putting it off. I imagine 15% left if that.
Cheers

Buy this if you plan on using needle nose pliers/side cuts, you will not regret it.

Thanks guys, I ended up actually deciding to trade it in. Bought myself a 2005 Buick Le-Sabre Custom and loving it. 3.8L V6 with aftermarket supercharger. mmmmmm. I don't miss the horrible ride of the civic compared to this machine.

lol, it wasn't just that. I had 400k km on it, and 2 kids to lug around in a coupe was getting old. + God dammit the Buck is beautiful, fully loaded, V6, no constant headaches... It's also a wicked long driver as opposed to the back breaking civic.
It was between an Audi A6 and the Buck but the Buick floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. The Audi drove like **** in comparison.
Anyways, been fun boys. Can't say I'll miss the Civic but it did me well.
