Re: Replacing Rear Brakes

if it has drum brakes and you need to replace the shoes you're gonna need a spring tool and you may as well replace the cylanders while you're down there. also when bleeding be very careful as the bleeder blolt is very delicate and will snap if you dont hit it with some pb blaster and let it sit for a while...if you snap one...good luck on finding a replacement!!! and hope to have a dealer local. everywhere i went to get replacements everyone had no idea what i needed and when they did...it was the wrong size. also make sure yours isnt set up like on the 97's with a pad shoe combo...with the ebrake being the shoes. it will look like a rotor but its more like a drum with rotor like features.
