the shims to be removed are directly under the brake covers. they are probably all rusted together in one mess. you need to remove the same number of shims from both sides then adjust your ball and stud for equal stopping. my uncle did ours with just one side 15 years ago by mistake, and something wasn't right after that so that when you backed up it wore both sides down, eventually quit making noise or stopping; never got around to fixin it yet, afraid it's more than just a brake problem.
when you take your covers off, don't be surprised if there are no shims left.
if you are too overwhelmed, you may have to pay a pro to do it for you. nice thing is it will be done right, and you have someone to complain to if you aren't satisfied ;)
