Rear Brake Shoes: Installation
- Connect parking brake cable to secondary shoe lever. Ensure plastic washer is between spring and lever. Position secondary shoe and install hold-down spring. Install strut and cam assembly on primary shoe. Rotate cam to fully released position. Install adjuster cam spring.
- Install primary shoe spring. Install strut spring in secondary shoe and then in strut. Place strut on parking brake lever. Move primary shoe toward backing plate. Strut will then "click" into place over parking brake lever and secondary shoe web.
- Install lower shoe spring with longer leg on secondary shoe. Pry lower end of primary shoe into position against anchor while holding top of shoe against backing plate. Install primary shoe hold-down pin, spring and washer.
- Ensure heel of each brake shoe is located behind anchor plate. If necessary, push adjuster cam to released position. Install brake drum. Push brake pedal hard to set self-adjuster cam position. Cam will make a ratcheting sound as it resets. Adjust parking brake cable (if necessary).
