Q: How do you replace the rear brake shoes on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
A: Loosen the lug nuts on your wheels, lift up the rear of your car, and support it with jack stands to replace the rear brake shoes. Get rid of the parking brake, take off your wheel, and do an inspection for these components before replacing them thereafter in a step-by-step manner. If necessary, press back the brake shoes using a brake adjusting tool. Take care of all parts one brake assembly at a time and adjust the clearance between shoe and drum. Inspect if the drum is damaged and either resurface or replace it where necessary. Place back your brake drum on, put up your wheel again then lower the vehicle. Correct the brakes by stopping forward and backward until you find that pedal action is okay.
