  Q: How to Service and Repair Parking Brake Shoes on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

  A:

  Before you work on the parking brake shoes, lock out the park brake lever and raise the car. First, take out the rear wheel and tire and next, remove the caliper and anchor as one group. Slide the rubber acces plug located at the back of the rear disc brake splash shield out. If adjustments are required, lift the shoes with a brake adjuster tool that you place above the star wheel and turn it. Separate the rotor from the flange at the axle, take the lower shoe off with needle nose pliers and the upper shoe off with brake pliers by accessing the shoe spring/adapter spring on each side. To get the shoe hold-down clips and pins off, push the clip ends together and slide it out until the head of the pin is past the edge of the notch, then remove the clip and pin. Once the shoes and adjuster are off, put the new shoes on the splash shield and secure them with the hold down clips and pins onto the park brake actuator. Add a small amount of lubricant, fasten the adjuster screw and place the notched ends on the shoes. Make sure the star wheel is aligned with the shield's access hole. Using needle nose pliers, attach one end of the lower shoe to the shoe spring/adjuster spring and connect the upper shoe to the shoe spring/return spring with brake pliers. Reattach the rotor and assembly for the caliper anchor and then tighten the bolts to 90 - 115 Nm (66 - 85 ft. lbs.). Release the system locked by the park brake lever, alter the parking brake shoes and assemble the wheel and tire. Put the car in an empty parking lot and try the parking brake while it is at ground level.

  Q: How to Remove and Replace Parking Brake Shoes on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

  A:

  Raise the car, take off the wheel and then remove the parking brake shoes from the drum. After that, remove the 2 caliper bolts and unscrew the caliper to ensure it is supported and does not hang from the hose. Eliminate the rubber access plug positioned on the rear disc brake support plate. If it's needed, use the brake adjuster tool on the star wheel's top to retract the parking brake shoes. After that, pull the rotor off the axle hub flange and remove the four axle flange nuts. Afterward, take the Axle Shaft out of the rear differential. After that, use your needle nose pliers to take out the inner return spring and then the outer adjuster. Removing the second shoe to shoe return spring can be done by using brake pliers. Now, grab the clip, push the ends toward one other to release the pin and slide the clip out until the pin head comes out of the holder. Afterward, remove the shoes from the actuator lever by the parking brake and get rid of them.
