Loosen the wheel lug nuts, release the parking brake, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Block the front wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the rear brake caliper and hang it with a length of wire, then remove the caliper mounting bracket. Remove the brake disc. If the brake disc cannot be easily pulled off the axle and shoe assembly, make sure that the parking brake is completely released, then apply some penetrating oil at the hub-to-disc joint. Allow the oil to soak in and try to pull the disc off. If the disc still cannot be pulled off, the parking brake shoes will have to be retracted. This is accomplished by first removing the plug from the backing plate. With the plug removed, turn the adjusting wheel with a narrow screwdriver or brake adjusting tool, moving the shoes away from the braking surface. The disc should now come off. Clean the parking brake shoe assembly with brake system cleaner, then follow the accompanying illustrations. Pull down on the parking brake cable, then clamp a pair of locking pliers on the cable to retain slack, then release the cable from the lever behind the brake backing plate. Before reinstalling the disc, check the parking brake surfaces of the disc hub for cracks, score marks, deep scratches, and hard spots, which will appear as small discolored areas. If hard spots or any of the other conditions listed above cannot be removed with sandpaper or emery cloth, the disc must be replaced. Once all of the new parking brake shoes are in place, install the brake discs and the brake calipers. Remove the rubber plugs from the brake backing plates, insert a narrow screwdriver or brake adjusting tool through the adjustment hole and turn the star wheel until the shoes drag slightly as the disc is turned. Turn the star wheel in the opposite direction until the disc turns freely. Install the backing plate plugs. Install the rear wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the torque. Operate the parking brake lever several times to release the lock-out spring and adjust the cables. Carefully check the operation of the brakes before placing the vehicle in normal service.
