Ford 5600 brakes

The brakes on our 5600, are getting a bit tired. Honestly I wouldn't feel that safe driving it on the road with any kind of load behind me. The tractor has a Q cab on it. I was wondering, how hard is to service the breaks on these? I did the ones on our fordson major, but they were drum brakes, and didn't involve having to take the whole axle off. Is it something we can do on our own without any special tools etc?
