Is there something specific you are having trouble with? Rear drum brakes are pretty straightforward, and it all is covered in the shop manual. There are videos of other Triumphs on Youtube, which may help.

I don't know if the TR6 is like the TR4, but on the latter, installing the wheel cylinders is a little tricky. Here's a good tutorial for that:
