• Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Shoe on 2001 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: A proper replacement of parking brake shoes starts by lifting up the vehicle while providing support before removing both tires and wheels from the rear. First restore the tension in the park brake system at the equalizer assembly before taking off the rear caliper bracket alongside the rear rotor. The first step involves disconnecting the rear park brake cable from its bracket on the rear wheel and unfastening the park brake cable return spring from the back-end combination of the park brake actuator and bracket at the rear wheel. You should take out the rear hub assembly first by uninstalling the backing plate and park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator as one unit. Start by taking out the two retainers along with the park brake cable bracket from the park brake actuator . Afterward, pull out the park brake shoe with its attached actuator from the backing plate to separate the shoe from the actuator. Begin by attaching the park brake shoe to the actuator before installing the park brake shoe unit together with the actuator onto the backing plate . Determine the correct placement of the assembly on the rear hub while you install the park brake cable bracket first followed by the two retainers before putting the rear hub into position. The rear park brake cable needs connection to the bracket at the rear wheel while the park brake cable return spring must be attached to the park brake actuator and bracket at the rear wheel followed by installing the rear rotor. Last, you need to add the rear caliper bracket followed by the rear wheels and tires and you should adjust the park brake system while finalizing the process by lowering the vehicle.
