  Q: How to replace the rear Brake Shoe Set and adjusting the parking brake system on Mazda Tribute?

  A:

  Open the parking brake and loosen the rear lug nuts of the wheels. Lift the car and place it on the jackstands, wash-up wheels but block the front tires. Before starting the job, clean the parking brake assembly using a brake system cleaner and then disassemble the brake shoe retracting spring, the adjusting screw spring and the adjusting screw. Unscrew the shoes and shaking shoes, remove parking brake shoes. Clean the Brake Disc/parking brake drum, inspecting it against score marks, deep grooves, hard spots and cracks, worn or damaged it can be resurfaced at an automotive machine shop. To install the shoes follow the same process in reverse, only, this time, fit the screw so that the disc would fit over the new shoes without rubbing as it did last time. Where there is a brake shoe adjusting gauge, the diameter of the shoes should be set at 0.042-inches smaller than the drum surface of the rear brake disc. The same procedure then repeat with the other parking brake assembly then the discs of the brakes and the Brake Calipers are then installed. Take out the rubber plug in the brake backing plate and turn the screw star wheel that is the adjusting screw with a screwdriver or brake adjusting tool till the parking brake shoes begin to drag and then turn it off until the shoes no longer drag. Lastly, assemble the rear wheels and lug nuts, lower the vehicle and screw the lug nut to the required torque.
