Default Emergency Brake Shoes

Has anyone here ever changed the emergency brake shoes on their GS? Where can I purchase a set and what is a good price? Are they hard to change? I'm certain that I could just tighten the cable a little more but eventually I will have to change them out. I probably have 1/16" or less of material left on the shoes...

Thanks in advance again to you all!

Cool

Very Easy! Make sure you use semi-metallic brake shoes and NOT organic! Turn the drums, if needed and lube all rotating parts with brake or caliper grease. Try toyotandlexusparts.com, might be hard to find as none of the big 2 seem to carry them.
