I thought maybe somebody would of known a writeup on it on this site of hand or remember one being done.
"No wasnt trolling hey"
Did a google search on "SL R230 Parking Brake" and then went to images, clicked on some images of where it appeared it people had uploaded for illustration purposes and then found lots of valuable information and writeup on how to do this. You need a special tool to get some of the springs in and the springs go on the front not of the brake shoes not the back, Also I am missing a spring on my one. Reason I asked "how to put them back" is because if you check my original post replies " I stated I put long lug nuts!" they hit the inside springs and did some damage in a high speed pursuit (shhhhh), which explains why I dont know which way they go , as you can see above "pics" I opened up the drum to broken springs and shoes loose.
Hopefully that makes things much clearer for you

Short answer, yes.
The WIS will even tell you to apply all of the above you listed on certain parts.
Any auto parts store will have loctite. That stuff is the reason your bolts were so tough to remove as it keeps them from backing out.
