  Q: How to install a Parking Brake Shoe on Chrysler Town & Country?

  A:

  Place the park brake actuator over the adapter and then have the trailing park brake shoe on top of the adapter with the long hold down pin pointing up. After that, put the hold down spring and pin on the back drum brake shoe, then attach both upper springs to both shoes, making sure the leading shoe is pulled down at the top and is rotated until fastened. The adjuster goes in between the first and second park brake shoes, while you add the hold down spring and pin onto the leading shoe. Put one lower return spring behind the shoes and bolt down the adapter and hub/bearing to the axle with the provided mounting hardware. Put the adapter over the bolts, then place the hub/bearing on the outer C/V joint stub shaft and tighten the hub/bearing bolts crisscrossed in a pattern to 129 Nm (95 ft. lbs.). For AWD, connect the wheel speed sensor to the hub/bearing and adapter, tightening its bolt to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.), but for FWD, check that the metal retaining clip is properly set and install the wheel speed sensor head and secondary retaining clip. First, make sure the locking tabs are unfolded and slide the cable into the mounting hole, then link it to the lever. After that, bolt it to the adapter. Take the locking pliers off the front park brake cable, move the park brake drum-in-hat brake shoes and install the rotor on the bearing/hub. Slowly lower the caliper and brakes over the rotor, ensuring you do not cross-thread the guide pin bolts and tighten them to a force of 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs.). First, clean the shaft threads for AWD, place the washer and hub nut over them, activate the parking brake, apply 244 Nm (180 ft. lbs.) to the hub nut and then install the assembled spring washer, nut retainer and cotter pin. Place the mounted wheel and tire assembly onto the vehicle and tighten all stud nuts with a full torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Flip the car over at the lift, push and then release the brake pedal to fitting the brake cables, step on the brake to check for stiffness and try out a short road trip so that the linings press firmly on the brakes.
