Hi,

To replace the parking brake shoe on this vehicle, you will need to remove the brake pads, calipers, caliper mount, and then the rotor. It can take a little time. However, if you follow the directions, you should be fine.

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. The pics below correlate with the directions.
