Saturn Ion Brake Shoe
Brake Shoe of Saturn Ion vehicles are part of the drum-brake assembly involved in creating sufficient friction for the vehicle to come to a standstill. These shoes which have fitted with the brake lining rub against the inner periphery of the drum when the brake is applied as this applies force on it, in order to slow down or stop it. Sometimes incorporated in the design is self-adjuster mechanism for regulation of the shoe to drum clearance for effectiveness during use. Although the Saturn Ion may employ other varieties of brake shoes, the two broad categories are the non-servo leading-trailing arrays and the duo-servo arrangements. The duo-servo style improves on the braking force because it is self-generating; the force is applied to the drum as the drum rotates. The brake shoes need to be inspected and cleaned/maintained frequently, because the wear, contamination, or damage them can directly affect the braking functionality of the vehicle and need timely replacement for the cause of safety usage of the vehicle.

Saturn Ion Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove the Brake Shoe on Chevrolet Cobalt,HHR and Saturn ION?A: The removal of the rear brakes on 2009 and earlier models begins by loosening wheel lug nuts and raising the vehicle on jackstands. Release parking brake, remove wheel. Pull off the spring from the brake adjuster assembly, then take out adjuster and adjuster lever. With pliers, lift lock end of shoe retractor spring then free trailing shoe. Lower shoe and lever connected to parking brake then raise retractor spring and remove leading shoe. Finally, depress tab at cable end then twist off trailing shoe/parking brake lever as well. For installation purposes however clean backing plate, lubricate contact points for shoes, center retractor spring in its mount and secure it there.

On 2010 or later models however this process is changed slightly differently than I thought because Remove adjuster from shoes first rather followed by removing hold-down springs for shoes lastly do not detach lower return springs doing this will result into removing both shoes completely right? In order to remove trailing shoe/parking brake lever from parking brake cable However attach upper return spring to trailing show along with installing onto them holdspring Install lower return spring before moving onto cleaning and lubing threaded section Reinstalling however means that one put an adjusting between retainer clips which also includes upper returnspring going through front side leading Reclaim their adjuster level as well as spring and recheck drum damage that might have happened. Attach brake drum, pump brake pedal, then make necessary adjustment. Finally, reinstall wheel lower vehicle makesure brakes are working properly before driving.
