Unless you have been officially taught how to do that, you should not be doing it.
fix the problem. if it says brake, it might also be the brake fluid level or brake shoes or pads.
on my 91 when i put new shoes on i adjusted the shoes out with adjuster until shoes touched drums and that also took care of my parking brake problem --- you may need rear brakes ???
It he emergency brake has slack in it, then you more than likely the rear pads/shoes are worn out. Inspect the rear brakes.
They just pull off but parking brake must be released & you may have to tap it. Shoes tend to fit pretty tightly in there.
The parts store has a tool that does a good job and it is about $15
first make sure parking ( aka emergancy) brake is off (handle down). then loosen off your shoes by removing the little piece of rubber (its about an inch long) on the back of the wheel. this will allow you access to the starwheel which you turn with a flathead screwdriver in order to loosen the shoes on the inside. it should now be easy to remove the drums
Remove wheel, brake caliper, brake disc, parking brake shoes etc. Drive out broken stud, replace with new stud. Replace above in reverse order.
Remove wheel Remove brake drum Loosen and remove brake line Remove mounting bolts Pry wheel cylinder off brake shoes Install new cylinder Replace brake lines Replace brake drum Bleed affected brake line
Remove the tire and wheel from your Mitsubishi. Remove the brake spring and the brake caliper. The brake shoes will come off. Reverse the process to install your new brake shoes.
The simplest way to fit rear brake shoes to your 1996 vehicle is to purchase the appropriate brake shoes. The appropriate brake shoes will automatically fit perfectly.
