2000 Chevrolet Prizm Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake shoes on 2000 Chevrolet Prizm?

  A: Service and repair operations on brake shoes require starting with drum removal. First disconnect the shoe return spring from the front shoe because next you must remove the front shoe hold-down spring then disconnect the anchor spring from the front shoe. First remove the shoe hold-down spring cups (11,13) alongside the shoe pin and front shoe and anchor spring. The following sequence includes rear shoe hold-down spring removal followed by shoe hold-down spring cups (7,9) and the shoe pin and adjuster spring and park brake lever strut with shoe return spring and finally the rear shoe. By disconnecting the park brake cable from the lever, use tools through removing first the park brake lever return ring and park brake lever then remove the rear Brake Shoe adjuster actuator until reaching the two c-shaped park brake lever washers (1,5). Check all drum brake elements for signs of wear together with rust and damage and examine the Brake Drum for repair or replacement needs. Before assembling the rear Brake Shoe adjuster actuator with the park brake lever return ring along with the park brake lever and the two c-shaped park brake lever washers (1,5) use lubriplate gm p/n 1050109 white lithium grease on all metal brake component contact points. The park brake cable receives its reattachment to the lever before installation of the rear shoe together with the shoe return spring , park brake lever strut , adjuster spring and shoe pin , shoe hold-down spring cups (7,9) and rear shoe hold-down spring . Start by fitting the front Brake Shoe first and then install its anchor spring and shoe pin before applying the shoe hold-down spring cups (11,13). After that apply the shoe hold-down spring. The installation of the front shoe must include the park brake lever strut combined with shoe return spring.
