How to replace the rear parking brake shoes on a Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

Loosen the rear wheel lug nuts. Raise the rear of the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the caliper and the brake disc. It's not necessary to disconnect the brake hose from the caliper; but hang the caliper out of the way with a piece of wire to prevent damage to the hose. Inspect the thickness of the lining material on the shoes. If the lining has worn down to 3/64-inch or less, the shoes must be replaced. Disconnect the rear parking brake cable from the parking brake lever. Follow the accompanying photos for the parking brake shoe replacement procedure. Be sure to stay in order and read the caption under each illustration. Install the brake disc. Temporarily thread three of the wheel lug nuts onto the studs to hold the disc in place. Remove the rubber access plug from the backside of the brake torque plate. Adjust the parking brake shoe clearance by turning the adjuster star wheel with a brake adjusting tool or screwdriver until the shoes contact the disc and the disc can't be turned. Back-off the adjuster eight notches, then install the hole plug. Install the brake caliper. Be sure to tighten the bolts. Install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts.
