• Q: How to replace the parking brake shoe on a rear disc on 2005 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: A vehicle maintenance expert should start by raising the car before supporting it while removing both the rear tire and wheel assemblies. The park brake system tension needs to release from the equalizer assembly before moving on to separate the rear caliper bracket and rear rotor. The first step is to detach the rear park brake cable from its bracket on the rear wheel and to disconnect the park brake cable return spring both from the actuator and the bracket. In the next step disconnect all components of the rear hub including backing plate combined with park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator. Remove two retainers and the bracket for the park brake cable from the park brake actuator assembly before setting the rear hub to the side. Disassemble the park brake shoe together with the actuator unit from the backing plate before you separate the park brake shoe from the actuator component. Construct the park brake shoe with the actuator before fixing it onto the backing plate for installation. Place the assembly over the rear hub and after that install the park brake cable bracket together with the two retainers . Reinstall the rear hub together with the backing plate as well as the park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator. The rear park brake cable needs connecting to the bracket near the rear wheel followed by attaching the park brake cable return spring to the park brake actuator and bracket. Install the rear rotor while attaching the rear caliper bracket then put on the rear tire and wheel assemblies. Adjust the park brake system before completing the procedure and you must return the vehicle to the ground.
