The main thing is that your hub puller needs to be a serious one, and it must attach to the lugs, not pull from the edges of the rim.

Put the castle nut back on the axle loosely before pulling, so you have less chance of mushrooming the tip of the axle.

You'll want some stout needle-nosed pliers to get the springs back on the brake shoes.

Not much to the rest of it... I recommend that you replace the cylinder on the opposite brake as well, because usually when one goes, the other is not far behind it. That's a suggestion, not a requirement.
