2008 Chevrolet Aveo Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake shoes on 2008 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The replacement process begins with taking out the Brake Drum. You need to detach the lower return spring then free the tension on the upper return spring through upper link connecting end removal from leading shoe operation. Start removal of items beginning with the connecting link spring then proceed to the connecting link and adjusting lever after that remove the upper return spring and its adjuster. Proceed to remove the trailing shoe hold-down spring and cap followed by the holding pin and shoe itself. The same step must be completed for the leading shoe through its hold-down spring removal followed by cap and pin uninstallation. To inspect the components, personnel must check the minimum brake lining thickness before cleaning the adjuster assembly then greasing it and testing adjuster thread motion and evaluating all brake parts for deterioration with replacement of damaged elements. Make sure the park brake cable receives proper routing before connecting it to the trailing shoe lever during the installation. Fitting the trailing shoe requires proper install of its hold-down components including spring and cap and pin while avoiding excessive stretching of the lower return spring. Position the leading shoe along with its adjuster assembly against the backing plate before installing the lower return spring onto the leading shoe and the adjuster assembly which should be turned in as far as possible. Start by installing the leading shoe together with its hold-down spring and cap and pin. Next install the adjusting lever as well as connecting link before adding the connecting link spring. Avoid overstretching the upper return spring during this process. Insert the upper return spring to the connecting link from the leading shoe while keeping the nut loose until reaching the stop for the adjustment assembly. The last step requires the adjustment of rear brakes followed by installing the Brake Drum before handling the park brake adjustment.
