  Q: How to replace the Parking Brake Shoe on the 25/35 Series on GMC Sierra 3500?

  A:

  The first step for replacing the park brake shoe on the 25/35 series requires the relaxation of park brake cable tension on the 1500hd through cable reduction in front of the equalizer and equalizer bar detachment and completion of the 25/35 series automatic adjuster disablement. Support the vehicle properly then take off the tire together with the wheel. The procedure for backing plate cable removal involves spring compression toward the lever while depressing locking tabs followed by extracting the cable housing through the plate opening and finally pulling out the cable from its place. Start by removing the park brake cable from the lever then the rotor along with the rear Axle Shaft. The removal process starts by taking out the park brake shoe return spring followed by the park brake shoe anchor springs and pins as well as the separation of tips from park brake actuator to extract the park brake shoes and adjuster assembly. Use a clean shop cloth to clean the park brake components before installing the adjuster assembly to the park brake shoes then spacing the tips of the shoes while fitting them onto the park brake actuator. After attaching park brake shoe anchor springs and pins one must install the park brake shoe return spring and adjust the park brake shoe. Install the rear Axle Shaft and rotor after which you can connect the park brake cable to the lever. To install the cable on the backing plate use a spring-compressing movement towards the lever followed by slotting the cable through the backing plate before pushing the cable housing until the locking tabs activate. After installing the tire and wheel use safety stands to lower the vehicle and turn on the automatic cable adjuster for all models except the 1500hd. The 1500hd requires the park brake cable installation onto the equalizer by pulling the cable down in front of the equalizer and connecting it to the equalizer bar before adjusting the park brake cable.
