Clean the brake disc/parking brake drum and check it for any damage.

Drum brake shoes should always be replaced on both wheels simultaneously to ensure proper functioning. It is important to note that the dust produced by the brake system can be harmful to health, so it is crucial to avoid inhaling it and to wear an approved filtering mask when working on the brakes. Additionally, petroleum-based solvents should never be used to clean brake parts; instead, brake system cleaner should be used exclusively. When replacing the brake shoes, it is recommended to also replace the return and hold-down springs, as they can lose tension over time due to the continuous heating and cooling cycle they undergo. The procedure for replacing the brake shoes involves loosening the wheel lug nuts, raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands, releasing the parking brake, removing the wheel, and then removing the brake drum. The brake shoe assembly should be cleaned with brake system cleaner before starting the work. The specific steps for replacing the brake shoes depend on the model year of the vehicle. After replacing the shoes, the drum should be checked for any cracks, score marks, deep scratches, or hard spots, and if necessary, it should be resurfaced at an automotive machine shop. Finally, the brake drum is reinstalled, the wheel is mounted, and the lug nuts are tightened. It is important to test the brakes and ensure their proper operation before driving the vehicle.
