help with rear brake

Hey guys,

I need to replace a rear brake disc off my truck. I can replace brake pads with my eyes closed but have never done a brake DISC before. How hard is it? I heard we need a special tool to take off/put on the springs? What kind of tool is this and where can I get it?

Do you mean shoe brakes? There are tools made for them, but you can use a vise-grip.......what kind of truck is it ?
