·You really don't need any special tools. There are some tools on the market for removing and installing brake shoe retaining and return springs, but I have never found them necessary. I don't hone brake cylinders anymore as replacement ones are pretty inexpensive. Removing bearing races can be done with a punch.
I would suggest replacing all the brake hardware, and the drums if they show any signs of overheating, or are approaching the recommended wear limits.
