Rear Brakes

I'm getting ready to do the rear brakes on my '99.

Besides brake shoes and fluid what else should I buy that I might be forgetting?

Brake cleaner. Hose everything down with water and follow it up, after it has dried some, with brake cleaner. You don't want to breath the dust.

Have your drums turned.

ONLY USE TOYOTA OE SHOES!!! Aftermarket ones cause over tightening/heat problems.

You also need grease for the specific contact points outlined in the FSM. I also recommend taking off the e-brake bellcranks and getting them cleaned and lubed up while you are in there.
