  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Shoe on Buick Enclave?

  A:

  Begin the shoe replacement by raising the vehicle while supporting it and removing the tire and wheel assembly. Users must remove the rear brake rotor as their next step. The adjuster for the park Brake Shoe needs to be retracted before removing upper park Brake Shoe retainer spring and finally the park Brake Shoe adjuster. Apply 1/4 clockwise pressure to remove the rear park Brake Shoe hold down spring while rotating it. After that both the lower park Brake Shoe retainer spring and the rear park Brake Shoe become removable. The front park Brake Shoe hold down spring requires the same compression and rotation method before front park Brake Shoe removal. Denatured alcohol or equivalent solution should clean the rear Brake Backing Plate before it dries. Use high temperature brake lubricant to coat the Brake Backing Plate contact points of the park brake shoes before installing the front park Brake Shoe with correct placement in the park brake actuator. The sequence for installation includes compressing and rotating the front park Brake Shoe hold down spring one-quarter turn before adding rear park Brake Shoe and then the lower park Brake Shoe retainer spring into the park brake actuator. You need to compress and rotate the rear park Brake Shoe hold down spring 1/4 turn before installing the park Brake Shoe adjuster and the upper park Brake Shoe retainer spring . Finally, adjust the park brake.
