How hard/easy is it to replace the e brake shoes?

On a scale of 1-10, I would call it, overall, about a 6. Replacing the retainers which hold the shoes to the backing plate is about a 9.375, however. Patience is a virtue.

They're drum brakes, so if you've ever done a drum brake job in the past, you'll know how to do the e-brake job. I'm sure there are plenty of YT vids.

Any tips for proper tools, etc. to make it easier?
