  Q: How to Perform a Brake Shoe Replacement on Buick Century?

  A: Brake Shoe replacement begins with suitable vehicle support while raising it followed by removing the tire wheel assembly and Brake Drum. The repair of one rear drum Brake Shoe assembly must happen independently to maintain visual progress observation. The Brake Shoe spanner and spring remover (J 38400) is necessary to spread the brake shoes tops because it lets the adjuster assembly and adjuster lever exit from the secondary Brake Shoe. Use the hook end of j 38400 to detach the universal spring from the secondary shoe web hole while holding the universal spring to successfully remove the secondary Brake Shoe. The procedure should be repeated for the primary Brake Shoe by maintaining control over the universal spring during removal. The park brake lever needs to be detached from the primary Brake Shoe through clip removal. To install the park brake lever first attach it to the primary Brake Shoe before putting on its retaining clip. Put the j 38400 tool to work for engaging the primary Brake Shoe web hole with the universal spring during its installation after which the same process occurs for the secondary shoe. Reposition the brake shoes at their tops with j 38400 followed by installing the adjuster assembly and adjuster lever onto the secondary Brake Shoe. The next step involves putting in the adjuster spring. The drum brake system adjustment should be performed before stepping through the process of Brake Drum installation and tire and wheel assembly reinstallation along with vehicle lowering.
