Hi,

Replacing rear brake shoes and drums is a little more difficult than disc brake replacement, but it is certainly something that can be done if you take your time.

You can expect rear brake shoes to last approximately 30,000 miles. However, based on driving habits and terrain, that can change.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how the procedure is done. This can be used as a guide

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

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
