Rear Drum Brake Shoes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Tundra and 2002 Toyota Tundra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: All rear drum brakes have a self-adjuster which is activated when brake pedal is applied with vehicle traveling in reverse.

To set initial lining-to-drum clearance, raise and support rear of vehicle. Release parking brake. Remove rear wheels and brake drums. Measure brake drum inside diameter and brake lining diameter. Measured clearance between linings and braking surface of drum should be .020 in. (.50 mm). Turn brake adjuster to obtain specified clearance. Install brake drum and wheel and adjust brakes (if necessary).
