  Q: How do I remove the Parking Brake Shoe?

  A: To take off the rear brakes, first of all, loosen the wheel lug nuts and lift the back of the automobile on jackstands. Release your parking brake, take off your wheel plus a screw that holds a disc/drum to a hub. Next remove parking brake shoe adjuster spring and adjuster from ends of parking brake shoes. Using locking pliers, remove one end of the parking brake shoe return spring then use them to pull it out. By rotating the hold-down spring retainer pin with pliers and removing it from shoes this will help in releasing the hold down springs then they can be taken out. Finally remove the shoes from backing plate. To install new brakes, clean backing plate with brake cleaner and lightly grease shoe contact points with brake grease. Disconnecting if necessary, disconnect parking break cable; unclip actuator from backing plate if necessary too. Insert into acutator (brake actuator) then install pins as well as shoe hold-down springs for new break pads Remove caliper bracket and rear Brake Pads and install caliper to vectorize them towards vehicle's front while you push on wheel in order to spin it freely once more. Make sure that there is no damage on axial flange before installing rear disc for braking at back Adjust starwheel until shoes touch drum lining before rotating disc around axle flange Apply parking brakes several times by rubbing noise while suspending which came across many times Attach caliper bracket, rear brake pads and caliper; later fix a wheel using lug nuts Check that wheel rotates freely or else apply handbrake for prevention Use your wrench to tighten lug nuts as well as lower car so that you can check whether brakes are working properly or not In case satisfactory action is needed, adjust your parking brake.
