2006 Buick Rendezvous Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the parking brake shoe on a rear disc on 2006 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: A technician should start by lifting and sustaining a vehicle before unfastening both rear wheel assemblies. Begin by relieving tension in the park brake system at the equalizer assembly then proceed with removing the rear caliper bracket and rear rotor. Disconnect the park brake cable at the rear wheel bracket then remove the return spring from the bracket and actuator of the brake assembly. As a single unit remove the rear hub by taking out its components which include the rear hub together with the backing plate and park brake cable bracket and the park brake actuator assembly. Split the two retainers from the park brake actuator while also eliminating the park brake cable bracket so you can place the rear hub to the side. After removing the park brake shoe together with the actuator from the backing plate isolate the park brake shoe from the actuator. First generate an actuator-park brake shoe assembly before placing the unit on the backing plate for installation. Position the assembly on top of the rear hub before you install the park brake cable bracket followed by the two retainers. Install the rear hub while maintaining the inclusion of backing plate along with park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator as an integrated assembly. Install the rear park brake cable onto the bracket at the rear wheel after you attach the park brake cable return spring between the actuator and bracket. After installing the rear rotor and rear caliper bracket you should install the rear tire along with its wheel assemblies. The maintenance sequence ends with adjusting the park brake system while lowering the vehicle.
