Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the front wheels.
2. Remove the Wheel: Use a lug wrench or impact gun to loosen and remove the rear wheel.
3. Access the Drum: Detach any retaining bolts that hold the drum in place, then carefully lift the drum off the axle.
4. Extract Old Shoes: Release the springs and slide out the worn brake shoes from their housings.
5. Install New Shoes: Position each new shoe into its housing, ensuring proper alignment. Reattach the springs with the correct preload.
6. Reassemble: Place the drum back onto the axle, secure it with the retaining bolts, and reattach the wheel.
7. Brake Adjustment: Pump the brake pedal a few times to seat the shoes against the drum. Check for proper clearance and adjust if necessary.
8. Test Drive: Perform a short test drive at low speed, verifying that the brakes engage smoothly without noise or vibration.
