  A: In order to take off the rear brake shoes of the 1500 model, to begin with, slightly loosen the rear wheel lug nuts, then lift the vehicle off the ground and remove the wheels. After that, take out brake caliper, mounting bracket and Brake Disc. Wash brake assembly using a brake system cleaner; next undo clip on shoe bottom by pushing it backwards and up to get shoe out of actuator. To do this, place one end of the shoe over the axle flange; then work it around and pull it away.
