Re: Drum replacement parts list?
Yeah. Self-bleeders are nice; Dorman sells them too but they're more $.
I'm not sure if you're ordering online for sure, but I don't buy bleeders or adjusters unless I need them. Same goes for spring kit a lot of times. Basics are shoes, drum, grease, spring pliers, and fluid for when you bleed things.
Now, you might be where roads are salted in winter and everything is rusted away. Or things might be beyond broke. Or "I want new and done" maybe. But getting the little parts locally instead of ordering them and not needing is another way to shop.

Hardware kits (about $20 for both kits, each kit has certain hardwares for both sides), they call it something like "hardware kit" and "adjuster kit" but details vary from place to place
Rubber hose (maybe $12 - 15)

I just did the rear drums on my DD and I changed out everything since I was unsure of the age of all the hardware. So drums, shoes, spring kit, adjuster kit, cylinders, and fluid. Once they were adjusted properly they worked like new, my only problem is that now I need to do the same to the front discs.
