I had to change the bearings in the wifes Focus. Release emergency brake with car securely on stands. Remove rear brake drum. The bearing is pressed in to the drum.

How to change brake shoe's in a 2006 Chevy Cobalt?

rear brake shoes are pretty much the same on all cars and truck. basically you remove the tire remove the brake drum retaining clips. unadjust the brake adjuster. this is doen by removing the plug on the back of the brake backign plate. then turn the star to let the brake shoes back off from the drum. once the pressure is off the shoes the drum will come off. then you remove the shoes by taking off the springs and stuff that hold the shoes on. putthe new shoes on and the drum. readjust the brakes with turning the star the other way. spin the drum to see if they are free or stuck if they are stuck you went too much. unadjust them to get them to where they barely rub. and you are done.
