  Q: How to remove and adjust the Parking Brake Shoes on Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: To remove the rear Brake Discs, start by measuring the thickness of the lining material on the shoes. If it is 1mm or less, the shoes should be replaced. Inspect the drum portion of the disc for any scoring, grooves, or cracks caused by heat. If any of these conditions exist or if there is significant wear to the drum, the disc must be replaced. Wash off the brake parts with brake system cleaner. Turn the star wheel adjuster until it is at its shortest setting, with the threads disappearing into the adjuster. Remove the adjuster springs, adjuster, and return spring. Then, remove the rear shoe hold-down retainer, spring, pin, and shoe, followed by the forward shoe hold-down retainer, spring, pin, and shoe. Thoroughly clean the backing plate and lubricate the brake shoe contact areas with high-temperature grease. Clean and lubricate the adjuster. To install the brakes, place the forward shoe in position and install the hold-down retainer, spring, and pin. Repeat this step for the rear shoe. Install the return spring, adjuster, and adjuster spring. Install the brake disc and secure it against the hub using two lug nuts with washers. Adjust the rear parking brake shoes. Install the caliper bracket and brake caliper, ensuring that the bolts are tightened to the specified torque. Finally, install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts to the specified torque. Check the parking brake for proper operation and readjust if necessary.
