Since even rear drum brakes can differ, I am going to send you to a video that I recommend to other people who have wanted to do their own rear brakes. Watch this video BEFORE you start the work. It will show you the tools you are going to need. It will also tell you things that would take too long in this reply.
Watch this video and best of luck: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/video/video.jsp?searchTerm=MDOKXQ1O&searchType=byId

About adjusting the rear brakes on your Deville If my memory serves me right you have 4 wheel disc brakes, and if so there is no adjustment other then for the emergency brake. However to manually adjust the rear brakes (they are self adjusting when you back up and pump the pedal) take off the drum and measure the circumference using a tool made for doing that (you could probably borrow it from Auto Zone) Once you have set the measurements of the drum hold the tool to the brake linings and adjust brakes by turning the star adjuster located at the bottom and in-between the brake shoes. NOTE you can only turn it in one direction and that is to tighten. If you can't turn it then it must be removed taken apart and cleaned then use oil to lube it before you put it back on.
Hello, If you are refering to a brake line the best thing to do is see if you can get one from a recycle yard. There are no ready made brake lines in parts. You have to buy new line and make it yourself or have someone else make it for you. After installing the new line you will have to bleed the brakes. Go for it.
buy the "rear brake hardware kit" for your vehicle; it will have all the parts for 1 wheel, typically both wheels are done at the same time.i recommend buying the haynes manual specific to your type vehicle, it will have easy to follow step by step instructions.otherwise you can remove the drum from the other side of the car and take a picture of the hardware setup to use as a reference
you mean parking brake cable? loosen parking brake cables put drums on , and adjust shoes till they lightly drag, now apply brakes a few times and check the adjustment again, if all ok, now adjust park brake cables, you want to adjust so park pedal goes 5-8 clicks till the wheels are "locked up" and the wheels spin free with the park brake off
