Not at all. Just do one side at a time.

@JackDaniels Unless you're Chuck Norris of course.

@Pretzel I know people who will take them all apart then forget how they go back together. Lol

Unless you'll done them like a billion times or have the book. I never recommend removal of both sides.
You're just asking for a headache.
Like drum brakes on the 90s half ton chevy trucks. You put half of them together like a kit off the truck. Then install them on the truck when half assembled
Like the big double spring, the self adjuster, roll pin and emergency brake bracket.
If you try to them the traditional way. You be fighting and making your job harder then it has to to be.

@HumanEarth Last one i changed on my chevy. Emergency brake was the hardest.

That emergency brake cable can be. Pain in butt to put back on. Imports I think made it the hardest because lack of space they give you

@HumanEarth It was a pain in the butt.

What chevy and what did you use
JackDaniels · 46-50, M
@HumanEarth was a chevy colorado and used my hands. Lol
HumanEarth · F
The hands might have been the best choice for the DYI'ers. They make a special tool for that cable, but if you don't do drum brakes all the time. Its a waste of money

@HumanEarth It is and took me a few tries to reinstall but got it.
