Default changing brake pads
How do you change the brake pads for a 98 Civic DX with drums in the rear? Pics would be nice

it is very easy, the pads should have a digram in the box, at least all of mine do. but it is pretty self explanatory.

I just did my fronts - not complicated, but I haven't touched the rear...I heard that's much more complicated, and I don't want to touch those with a 10 foot pole... :P

undue the the 12mm bolt...left up the caliper, take out old pads.
push in piston, its easy if you have a Cclamp. put new pads in. "close" caliper. put 12mm back in and your done.

I thought the same thing, but if you read the original post it's inconclusive.

Although, I don't know why else he would have mentioned the drums....

Are you trying to take the drum covers off? I think they just pry off. You can thread a bolt into the two holes to help lever them off.
