To remove the rear brakes, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands. Release the parking brake and remove the wheel and the screw that secures the disc/drum to the hub. Then, remove the parking brake shoe adjuster spring and the adjuster from the ends of the parking brake shoes. Use locking pliers to remove one end of the parking brake shoe return spring and then remove the spring from the shoe. Rotate the hold-down spring retaining pin using pliers and release the hold-down springs, removing them from the shoes. Finally, remove the shoes from the backing plate. To install the new brakes, clean the backing plate with brake cleaner and lightly lube the shoe contact points with brake grease. If necessary, disconnect the parking brake cable and unclip the actuator from the backing plate. Insert the brake shoes into the actuator and install the pins and shoe hold-down springs. Attach the parking brake shoe return spring to the shoes and clean and lube the threads of the adjuster before reinstalling it between the shoes. Adjust the shoes by turning the star wheel and check the rear disc for any damage before installing it on the axle flange. Apply the parking brake a couple of times and listen for any rubbing sounds. Install the caliper bracket, rear brake pads, and caliper, and then install the wheel and lug nuts. Check that the wheel rotates freely and apply the parking brake to ensure it does not turn. Lower the vehicle, tighten the lug nuts, and carefully check the operation of the brakes before driving. Adjust the parking brake if necessary for satisfactory action.
