Hi,

Replacing the brake shoes and drums is a little more involved than disc brakes, but it really isn't too hard if you take your time. You can expect rear brake shoes to last approximately 30,000 miles. Make sure you get lifetime replacement parts so you don't have to pay for them again.

To get you started, here is a video that shows in general how it is done on a similar car

If you look at the attachments below, they include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for replacement.


Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.
