There's isn't much to service. Could blow the dust out and make sure everything is moving properly, put a little grease or anti seize where the shoes rub on the backing plates, replace any nfg parts(brake hardware kit) if it's too crusty. Use the e-brake once in a while to keep everything moving. They usually seem to last 2-4 times longer than the front brakes on these cars even with nothing more than blowing the dust out once in a blue moon.
