I just started my first rear brake job on my 2000 Grand Caravan and noticed the brake drums don't come off like on my '93 GC. Can anyone steer me to where I might find some instructions? I would appreciate it.

Sometime those things are tight. Drive it forwards and backwards slightly to free up the shoes. Don't forget to leave the parking brake off (yes, I'm a moron and did that once). Take off both back wheels. If you look on the back side of the brake, there should be a small rubber plug. You can stick a screwdriver in their and manual adjust the brake tensioner. Basically a small turnbuckle type thumb wheel.

That's the way I remember it from my '93, but I can't find the tensioner on this one. There are two rubber plugs, one to check how much of the shoe is left and one that is where the parking brake comes in.
