  Q:

  How to service and repair the rear Brake Shoe Set on Chrysler Voyager?

  A:

  To service and repair the rear drum brake shoes, first raise the vehicle and remove the rear wheel and tire assemblies. Next, take off the rear brake drum to hub retaining clips if equipped, and then remove the rear brake drums. Ensure the park brake pedal is in the released position while creating slack in the rear park brake cables by pulling down and rearward on the exposed section of the front park brake cable, maintaining slack with locking pliers just rearward of the rear body outrigger bracket. Remove the adjustment lever spring from the adjustment lever and front brake shoe, followed by the adjustment lever from the leading brake shoe. Detach the brake shoe to brake shoe lower return springs, the tension clip attaching the upper return spring to the automatic adjuster assembly, and the upper return spring itself. Remove the trailing brake shoe assembly from the brake support plate, park brake actuating lever, and park brake actuating strut, along with the automatic adjuster assembly from the leading brake shoe. Then, remove the leading brake shoe assembly to brake support plate hold down spring and pin, and take off the leading brake shoe from the brake support plate. Transfer the park brake actuator from the leading brake shoe to the replacement brake shoe. For installation, lubricate the eight shoe contact areas on the support plate and anchor using Mopar Brake Lubricant or equivalent. Install the leading brake shoe on the brake support plate, followed by the leading brake shoe hold down spring and pin. Attach the park brake actuator strut and lever to the leading brake shoe, then install the automatic adjuster screw. Position the trailing brake shoe on the park brake actuating lever and strut, and install the brake shoe hold down pin and spring. Attach the brake shoe to brake shoe upper return spring, ensuring the tension clip on the automatic adjuster is located only on the threaded area to maintain its function. Install the brake shoe to brake shoe lower return springs, the automatic adjustment lever on the leading brake shoe, and the actuating spring on the automatic adjustment lever and leading brake shoe assembly. Verify positive contact of the automatic adjuster lever with the star wheel on the automatic adjuster assembly. Once all components are correctly installed, remove the locking pliers from the front park brake cable and adjust the brake shoe assemblies to avoid interference with brake drum installation. Install the rear brake drums on the hubs, adjust the rear brake shoes, and then install the wheel and tire assembly. Tighten the wheel mounting stud nuts in the proper sequence to half specification, then repeat the sequence to the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.). Lower the vehicle, push the parking brake lever (pedal) to the floor once and release it to automatically remove slack and correctly adjust the parking brake cables, and finally, conduct a road test of the vehicle, allowing the automatic adjuster to continue brake adjustment during the test.

Then, remove the leading brake shoe assembly to brake support plate hold down spring and pin, and take off the leading brake shoe from the brake support plate. Transfer the park brake actuator from the leading brake shoe to the replacement brake shoe. For inspection, remove the tire and wheel assembly, then the rear brake adjusting hole plug from the brake support. Use a thin screwdriver to hold the adjusting lever away from the notches on the adjusting screw star wheel, insert Tool C-3784 into the brake adjusting hole to engage the notches, and release the brake by prying down with the adjusting tool. Remove the rear brake drum and inspect the brake lining for wear, shoe alignment, and contamination. For installation, lubricate the eight shoe contact areas on the support plate and anchor with Mopar Brake Lubricant or equivalent. Install the leading brake shoe on the brake support plate, followed by the hold down spring and pin. Attach the park brake actuator strut and lever to the leading brake shoe, then install the automatic adjuster screw. Position the trailing brake shoe on the park brake actuating lever and strut, and install the hold down pin and spring on the trailing brake shoe. Install the upper return spring and ensure the tension clip on the automatic adjuster is located only on the threaded area. Attach the lower return springs to the brake shoes, install the automatic adjustment lever on the leading brake shoe, and the actuating spring on the lever and leading brake shoe assembly. Verify positive contact of the automatic adjuster lever with the star wheel, then remove the locking pliers from the front park brake cable. Adjust the brake shoe assemblies to avoid interference with drum installation, then install the rear brake drums on the hubs and adjust the rear brake shoes. Reinstall the wheel and tire assembly, tightening the wheel mounting stud nuts in the proper sequence to half specification, then to the full specified torque of 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.).
