Well the rear brakes on the old Dodge gave out this weekend. I am upgrading to 1 ton brakes and 1 1/8" wheel cylinders. My question is, what type of specialty tools do I need to perform a rear brake job? The drums have been off recently (by a local brake shop to check the condition of the brake pads). Also what size of socket do I need to get to take the big nut off the axle? The reason I am asking is I am doing this at my farm and don't want to tie up the local ag repair shop while I am getting the drums turned.
