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

  A:

  Begin shoe replacement by supporting the vehicle at height followed by disassembly of both the tire and wheel assemblies from the rear position. The first step entails reducing park brake system tension on the equalizer assembly and subsequent removal of the rear caliper bracket and rear rotor. The rear Parking Brake Cable requires removal from its bracket near the wheel while the park brake cable return spring needs to be detached from the actuator and bracket at the rear wheel. To work on the rear hub you must separate this component with its three integrated parts: backing plate alongside park brake cable bracket and park brake actuator assembly. Disassemble the park brake actuator by taking out two retainers and the park brake cable bracket and set the rear hub to the side. Position the backing plate on its side and detach the park brake shoe with actuator before separating the shoe from the actuator. The park brake shoe assembly with actuator must come together before installing it onto the backing plate . After placing the rear hub under the backing plate and park brake shoe and actuator the installer adds park brake cable bracket followed by two retainers. You should reinstall the rear hub as a single unit containing the backing plate and park brake cable bracket and actuator. You need to link the rear park brake cable to its bracket on the rear wheel, after which you should connect the park brake cable return spring to the actuator and bracket at the rear wheel before putting on the rear rotor and rear caliper bracket. The last step consists of reattaching the rear tire and wheel assemblies and adjusting the park brake system and finally lowering the vehicle.
