Default Please Help - Parking (drum) Brake Replacement

I have to replace the parking brakes on my '97 LS400.
I'm looking to replace all the hardware along with the shoes, but had had difficulties finding the right parts. This- http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...&keyword=17393 - is pretty much my only option, but it's for 98-00 I believe. So my questions-
*Will the '98 hardware work on my '97? Or does someone here know where I can find what I actually need?
*can anyone describe/ show me how to replace the parts. I can't find info. on it anywhere. :/
Thanks!

all of the correct parts are shown here - click diagram which will open a super size diagram in another tab

use your Club Lexus discount to get much lower prices than shown

as far as installation, you really need to consider procuring a 1997 Lexus Repair Manual on ebay or from Faxon Auto Literature, having the the real factory shop manual set quickly pays for itself!

you register on the Sewell Lexus website and in the registration process it has a place to enter your Club Lexus username.

That site or Lexus of South Atlanta parts are usually the two cheapest sources of the real genuine Lexus/Toyota dealership parts, which in most cases, are the best choice.
