Hi,

I believe this vehicle has rear drum brakes. I checked the manual and it indicates they are drum-type brakes.

Confirm that for me. If I am correct, here is a link to get you started. It shows in general how it's done. You can use it as a guide.

If you look at the pics below, they are the directions specific to your vehicle for brake drum and shoe replacement.

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

Take care,

Joe

Yes, they are pads and the rotor is rubbing all the brakes off.

Hi,

For some reason, my manual is only providing directions for brake shoes. Regardless, here is a link that explains in general how to remove and replace rear disc brakes and rotors:

Also, here is a video of the pads and rotors being replaced on a different type of vehicle. The procedure is very similar.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
