They are mechanical, no "procedure" needed. Just take off the old ones and put on new ones. The bottom bolt and nut of the outside shoe is rather large and that makes it a pain to find a socket, but it wasn't too hard of a project over all.

Well,got the new park brake shoes installed.Went well.Bit of a fight with that nut on the cable.Old shoes were down the rivets!Bad.
the main pins were lacking lube and starting to rust a bit.Swapped zirks,greased after install works great.That bolt is an odd size
though on the main pivot.Like 1" 3/8 was to big and 1"1/4 to small.What up wit dat??
