This video shows the job being done on a similar car but the process is the same. Check out the diagrams (Below).

Replacing the parking brake shoes on a vehicle with disc brakes is a little more involved. However, it really isn't too hard.

The brake shoes are located under the tophat of the brake rotor, so the disc brake pads, calipers, and caliper mount will need to be removed. Once the rotor is off, you will see the parking brake shoes.

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

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