Point it at the lake with a brick on the go pedal. Brake problems solved!
Seriously though, are you talking about spring for shoes in drum brakes? Easy, get a manual, or google a ford forum. Just dissabemble one at a time, use the other side as a guide.

Drums are easy. Once they are apart, you'll see how everything goes together and works.
They make specialty tools for this (which I own, but have never used, and make the job a LOT quicker).
