what i did is i have a pretty big rubber mallet and just hit it of use a fat screw driver to help get it started. Then when you have it off you will just need a needle nose plier and regular pliers. First use the needle nose to take the springs off. then there is a cup looking thing that hold the shoes on. then push it in a twsit the pin and it will come off. Then you need to get off the clip and maybe the pin dont remember but just look at your new ones if it has it neermind if it doesnt have the pin wack it out and put back together the emergeny brake pad with the pin and c clip. Now use the cups and spring and pin that held it to the dust cover. Then when its reactached to the dust cover attach the springs. Oh there is an ajuster that needs to be screwed in all the way so its really short. Make sure that you have both tires off so that you can see how it goes back together.
