Yes, it does. I still won't touch mine though because they fall apart every time I try... Three months on no back brakes SUCKED! Haha
IT truly is easy lol just take your time and use the other as a reference and this guide and i assure you, you will get them, I can now compeltly disassemble and reassemble my rear brakes in under 10 min, I plan on doing a rear disc conversion soon, ill do a write up on my experience with that
if your drums are acting up and u have already tried replacing the hardware. and the problem is still there. its 99% likely your parking brake cables are shot, mine were and if you look in the pictures that really shine piece of metal you see in the later shots are because i put a new parking brake cable in both sides yesterday. now my brakes work better than they ever did!
