Remove the brake disc and clean the parking brake assembly with brake system cleaner. Inspect the thickness of the lining material on the shoes; if it has worn down to 0.039 inch (1.0 mm) or less, replace the shoes. Unhook the parking brake shoe return springs from the anchor pin using a special brake spring tool for ease. Remove the shoe strut from between the shoes along with the spring assembly. Detach the rear shoe hold-down spring, then remove the rear shoe and adjuster. Disconnect the parking brake cable from the lever and remove the front shoe after removing the front shoe hold-down spring. Spread the C-clip on the parking brake lever pivot pin with a screwdriver, then remove the lever, shim, and pin, transferring the parts to the new front shoe and crimping the C-clip to the pin with pliers, ensuring to use a new C-clip for reinstallation. Apply a thin coat of high-temperature grease to the shoe contact surfaces of the backing plate and to the threads and sliding portion of the adjuster. Connect the parking brake cable to the lever and mount the front shoe to the backing plate, installing the hold-down spring. Connect the tension spring to the lower ends of both shoes and install the adjuster. Position the rear shoe on the plate and install the hold-down spring, followed by the parking brake cable return spring to the rear shoe. Install the parking brake strut with the spring facing rearward between the two shoes, then install the shoe return springs. Install the brake disc and temporarily thread three of the wheel lug nuts onto the studs to hold the disc in place. Remove the hole plug from the brake disc and adjust the parking brake shoe clearance by turning the adjuster star wheel with a brake adjusting tool or screwdriver until the shoes contact the disc and the disc can't be turned, then back off the adjuster eight notches and install the plug. Install the torque plate, brake pads, and brake caliper, ensuring to tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Pull up on the parking brake handle and count the number of clicks; it should be between four and five clicks, and if not, adjust the parking brake. To bed the shoes to the drum, drive the vehicle at approximately 30 mph on a dry, level road, pushing in on the parking brake release button and pulling up slightly on the lever with about 20 pounds of force, driving for 1/4-mile with the parking brake applied. Repeat this procedure two or three times, allowing the brakes to cool between applications.

Install the lug nuts, then lower the vehicle.
