Q: How Do You Remove and Assemble a Brake Drum,Brake Shoe and Wheel Cylinder on Honda CRX?
A: To remove the drum, lift the vehicle, remove the rear wheel and tire, and then the drum. Check the drum for cracks and the shoe for wear. To remove the shoes, lift the vehicle, remove the wheel, tire, and brake drums, remove the pins, lower the brake shoe assembly, disconnect the parking brake cable, remove the upper return spring, self-adjuster lever, and spring, and separate the shoes. To remove the wheel cylinder, lift the vehicle, remove the tire, wheel, brake drum, and shoes, disconnect the parking brake cable and brake lines, and remove the wheel cylinder. When reassembling, grease the wheel cylinder piston grooves and backing plate surfaces, and apply brake fluid to the pistons, piston cup, and cylinder walls.
