Whenever the brake shoes are replaced, the return and hold-down springs should also be replaced. Due to the continuous heating/cooling cycle the springs are subjected to, they can lose tension over a period of time and may allow the shoes to drag on the drum and wear at a much faster rate than normal. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Block the front wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling. Remove the rear wheels. Release the parking brake. Remove the brake drum. It should simply pull straight off the hub. If the drum won't come off, tap it carefully with a soft-faced mallet, or screw a couple of 8.0 mm bolls into the tapped holes. If it still won't budge, the shoes have probably carved wear grooves into the drum. To get the drum off, you'll have to retract them. Remove the rubber plug in the backing plate. Use one screw-driver inserted through the hole in the backing plate to hold the self-adjuster lever away from the adjuster star wheel, then use another screwdriver to rotate the star wheel until the drum can be removed. Replacing the shoes is a lot easier if you remove the rear wheel bearing cap, spindle nut and washer, and slide off the hub unit. All four rear brake shoes must be replaced at the same time, but to avoid mixing up parts, work on only one brake assembly at a time. Before reinstalling the drum it should be checked for cracks, score marks, deep scratches and hard spots, which will appear as small discolored areas. If the hard spots cannot be removed with fine emery cloth or if any or the other conditions listed above exist, the drum must be taken to an automotive machine shop to have it machined. Note: Professionals recommend resurfacing the drums whenever a brake job is done. Resurfacing will eliminate the possibility of out-of-round drums. If the drums are worn so much that they can't be resurfaced without exceeding the maximum allowable diameter (stamped into the drum), then new ones will be required. At the very least, if you elect not to have the drums resurfaced, remove the glazing from the surface with sandpaper or emery cloth using a swirling motion. Install the hub and bearing unit, the washer and a new spindle nut if removed previously. Tighten the nut. Install the brake drum.
