To replace the parking brake shoes, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts, raising the rear of the vehicle, and supporting it securely on jackstands.

Proceed to remove the rear discs and the hub and bearing assemblies. Clean the parking brake assembly with brake system cleaner. Follow the specified order to replace the parking brake shoes, involving steps like removing hold-down clips, return springs, and shoe assemblies, cleaning and lubricating parts, and connecting the adjuster lever to the cable. Inspect the drum surface for any damage, and if necessary, have it resurfaced by a machine shop.
