What do I need, and where can I get it? Would the pads be available from your typical auto parts store?

And are there any writeups out there? I'm pretty sure I could figure it out, but brakes aren't something I want to mess up.

Thanks in advance.

 

I did a write up here:

I got my parking brake shoesfrom the thieves at the stealership but you can get them for much less from FCP. It really isn't that big of a deal to change them but rotate the drum several times with decent tension on them to get the new shoes centered after you replace them. I have a stick on the '94 so it was important that the parking brake works properly.

I have to do the same. Pretty good write-up, thanks.
