Hi,
First you remove the wheels, the calipers and rotors.
Then you are gonna see the shoes behind the hub (the part where the wheel is bolt on). It is quite difficult to replace if you don't have much mechanic skills and tools.
you dont adjust you replace brake shoes
My Explorer uses small parking brake shoes inside the back of the back rotor
To replace the rear parking brake shoes on a 2002 Buick Rendezvous, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the rear wheels. Next, remove the brake drum by taking off the retaining screws, if applicable, and sliding the drum off the hub. Disconnect the parking brake cable and remove the old shoes, noting their arrangement. Install the new shoes in the same configuration, reattach the parking brake cable, and reassemble the drum and wheels before lowering the vehicle.
Disc brakes ( also have rear parking brake shoes )
Brake shoes worn out. Replace them and have the drumns resurfaced.
Remove wheel, brake caliper, brake disc, parking brake shoes etc. Drive out broken stud, replace with new stud. Replace above in reverse order.
You don't. You replace the worn out rear break shoes. If that doesn't do it you need to replace the stretched E brake cable.
No , disk brakes front and rear ( the back disk brake rotors have small parking brake shoes inside of a drum portion )
On a 2008 Ford Explorer : ( disc brakes , front and rear ) Also , on the inside of the rear rotors is a small set of parking brake shoes
Disc brakes , front and rear ( there are also a small set of brake shoes in the backside of the rear rotors that are used for the parking / emergency brake )
check the parking brake cables, any applied tension, and condition of the brake shoes
If you mean the brake itself, the parking brake lever pulls on the cables which attach to the rear brakes and manually tighten up the rear brake shoes. If the brake isn't working either a cable has broken or the problem is in the rear brakes.
