New parking brake shoe install pending
I ordered the shoe kit off fastlane and should be here any day now. Is there any hints I should know about replacing the shoes and springs? I have had the rotors off before so that won't be a biggie...It looks like some of those springs might be hard to get off.
Thanks

Which car?
Look at the new springs to figure out how to remove the old ones. Shoes are simple...adjust them all the way down before putting the drum on. Assuming nobody has messed with the cable slack in light of a proper adjustment, the drum should go right on. Adjust through a lug hole until you feel a little resistance. (Make sure your adjusters aren't frozen before you put everything back together. I always put Never-cease on mine. ) |

OPPS! its for the 300TD, anti-sneeze on the adjuster makes sense. Thanks
