You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 3L2Z-2648-AA fits your vehicle.

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.

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.
