Man that's how intensely they inspect the brakes there, Gez!

Before you order brake parts take a real close look at the condition of the backing plate pads where the shoes sit and on.
The bad side may be worn with ridges that make for more pedal pressure to be needed, and if they check out ok then do not forget to grease these pads.

Pan leak wise you really need to find a way to get the motor up and car out from under it.

I have used a big tree branch once to do such when I had no other way.

The pan needs to come fully off to do the job right as anyone who has had a leak the second time around will tell you.
