They're probably the easiest brake to service you can get. Take it apart, clean all the brake dust out, regrease any pivots taking care not to get grease on the drum lining or the brake shoes, reassemble then adjust the play in the pedal until it's where you want it.
As an aside, if you're going to do any riding in the wet especially off roading through any fords it's worth getting grooved brake shoes as they're much more predictable when full of water/muck. EBC usually offer them as an option with the same part number and the suffix "WG".
