Parking Brake Shoe: Service and Repair
Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If replacing parking brake shoes on both sides of vehicle, perform 1 through 15 on each side of the vehicle to complete shoe set
installation, then proceed to 16.
NOTE: Left side shoes are shown in the figure. Right side shoes are a mirror image of the left except for the adjuster. The threaded portion of
the adjuster should always be positioned to the left side in order to maintain consistent side-to-side rotational direction for adjustment
purposes.
1. Install the lower return spring (3) and adjuster (5) between the parking brake shoes (2, 6). The rear shoe will have the lever mounted on the inside.
Make sure the threaded portion of the adjuster is mounted to the left on both right and left side parking brake assemblies (see preceding note).
2. If necessary, place the strut (1) above the hub and bearing on the vehicle. Note the curved end of the strut (1) is positioned to the rear.
3. Install the assembled brake shoes (2, 6), adjuster (5) and lower return spring (3) over the hub and bearing and onto the support plate and anchor.
Be sure to install the strut between the front shoe and the lever on the rear shoe.
4. Install the parking brake cable onto the lever on the parking brake shoe.
