Question 1

How to service and repair a brake shoe set on Jeep Wrangler?

Accepted Answer

To service and repair drum brake shoes, you need to raise the vehicle and remove the rear wheels. Get rid of the spring nuts that secure the drums to the wheel studs and remove the brake drums. In case the drums refuse to budge, release the adjuster via a hole in the support plate and make use of a brake tool and screwdriver. Following the specified procedure, next unclip the U-clip and washer that secures the adjuster cable to the parking brake lever. Unclip the primary and secondary return springs from the anchor pin using brake spring pliers. Use a standard retaining spring tool to detach the hold-down springs, retainers, and pins. Employ spring clamps on the wheel cylinders to prevent the pistons from moving. Then take out the adjuster lever, adjuster screw, adjuster spring, adjuster cable and cable guide. Lastly, remove the brake shoes and parking brake strut. Disconnect the cable from the parking brake lever before removing the lever. To install, clean the support plate with brake cleaner. If new drums are being installed, remove the protective coating with carburetor cleaner or brake cleaner. Apply multipurpose grease to the brake shoe contact areas of the backing plate. Spray lube the adjuster screw threads and pivots. Using a new washer and U-clip, attach the parking brake lever to the secondary brake shoe. Remove the wheel cylinder clamps and connect the parking brake cable to the lever. First, fit the brake shoes to the support plate and secure them with new hold-down springs, pins and retainers. Next, fit the parking brake strut and spring. Begin the installation of the guide plate and adjuster cable to the anchor pin. Next, fit the primary and secondary return springs. Position the adjuster cable guide on the secondary shoe. Lubricate and assemble the adjuster screw. Install the adjuster screw, spring, and lever, which connects to the adjuster cable. After adjusting the shoes to the drum, put the wheel/tire assemblies on and lower. Check that you have a firm brake pedal before moving.
