Replacing brake shoes on a Ranger Pickup?

Question

I have a 1997 Ford Ranger 4 cyl 2wd, the passenger side rear brakes had a leak. I have never tried replacing rear brakes before and I can't find my chiltons manual for the truck. I managed to get all the old peices out and replace the brake line that was leading up to them (the old line was corroded to the old hardware), problem is, I 'm not sure what the finished, reassembled thing should look like. Anybody know of anyplace online I can find a diagram or instructions to properly reassemble? Thanks for any help

I couldn't remove from the backing, whole thing was one fused-together chunk of rust- thats why I had to replace all the insides

old timers trick. take the wheel and drum off the other side and use it for reference

going to be hard to find but if u go to autozone just open a manual and take a pic with your camera phone (i do it all the time when working on someone elses car)

let me get this straight ! you mean you took the shoes off to replace the line ? you did,nt have to do that. all you had to do is unscrew the line behind the backing plate and replace it.
