Brake Shoe: Service and Repair
With Duo-Servo Drum Brakes

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

GM replacement brake lining material is recommended for all vehicles to maintain the balance between front and rear brake performance. GM
replacement brake parts have been carefully selected to provide the proper brake balance for the purposes of stopping distance and control over the
full range of operating conditions.  Installation of front or rear lining material with performance different from that of GM replacement parts
recommended for this vehicle can change the intended brake balance of this vehicle.

1. Raise the vehicle and support the vehicle with safety stands.

2. Mark the relationship of the wheel to the hub.
3. Remove the tire.
4. Remove the wheel.
5. Mark the relationship of the drum to the axle.
6. Remove the drum.

7. Remove the return springs.

8. Remove the shoe guide.
