2007 Chevrolet Aveo Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake shoes on 2007 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The Brake Shoe replacement process starts by removing the Brake Drum after which workers should proceed to remove the lower return spring. The procedure starts by loosening the upper end of the leading shoe connecting link to decompress the upper return spring before continuing to take out the connecting link spring then the connecting link and adjusting lever. The order of removal includes the trailing shoe hold-down pin and the trailing shoe followed by the trailing shoe hold-down cap and spring. Then remove the upper return spring and adjuster before proceeding to take out the upper return spring and adjuster. The procedure must be repeated on the leading shoe through separation of its hold-down spring and cap before moving to remove the hold-down pin and leading shoe. During inspection measure the brake lining thickness and apply grease to the adjuster assembly while checking thread rotation as well as inspecting all components for damage or wear before replacing any unasalvageable parts. Correctly direct the park brake cable before its attachment to the trailing shoe lever during installation. When installing the trailing shoe use its hold-down spring along with cap and pin while making sure that the lower return spring remains within normal length limits. The leading shoe and adjuster assembly should face the backing plate then lower return spring should be positioned to the leading shoe followed by the adjuster assembly that needs to be turned in as far as it can go. Begin installation of the leading shoe by adding its hold-down spring followed by the cap then the pin. Afterward install the adjusting lever and connecting link then the connecting link spring. Keep attention when installing the upper return spring across the leading shoe to the connecting link because overstretching is dangerous. The adjuster assembly nut needs to reach the stop position without locking before adjusting the rear brake components and installing the Brake Drum followed by park brake adjustment.
