i need to know what tool to purchase to get the hub off my 2001 rear brakes please help
Once you remove the wheels they will pull right off, you may need to back off the adjusters a bit to get them to release, that is with a flat bladed screwdriver through the oblong rubber plug on the back side of the brake plate, I suggest you replace the shoes while you are there
If you have drum brakes, you need to remove the drums and adjust the star wheel that expands the rear shoes, compensating for wear. On my van, I adjust them whenever I rotate the tires. To remove the drums, you may need a pair of metric bolts that fit the jacking holes that are drilled and tapped in the drums. By removing the drums, you can inspect the brake shoes for wear and replace when necessary. You can also adjust the rear shoes via the adjustment holes in the rear brake mounting plates. Remove the wheels and secure on jack stands. Make sure to chock the front wheels, as you will have to disengage the parking brake to test brake tension. with a small screw driver the adjust the star wheel, located directly under the caliper piston housing. Tighten it until the first sign of drag on the drums. There has been some discussion that the drums will self adjust when backing and applying the brakes. Also I have seen mention that applying the parking brake 5 times in succession will cause self adjustment. I apply the parking brake every time I leave the car, and I back out of the driveway and brake every time I leave the house, however, every time I have replaced front pads the rears need major adjustment.
Lift the car, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/caliper, and remove the brake pad. Dispose of the old pad, put in the new brake pad, replace the brake shoe/caliper, replace the tire and lower the car.
should just pull off if parking brake not engaged
pretty sure that all sunfires have drums in the back and not rotors
