  Q: How do you replace the rear brake shoes on Toyota 4Runner,Toyota T100 and Toyota Tacoma?

  A: To replace the rear Brake Shoe Set on a vehicle, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and then the brake drum. If the drum is stuck, use penetrating oil and tap around the studs and flange to break it loose. If it is still stuck, screw bolts into the threaded holes in the drum and tighten them to push the drum off. If the drum is locked onto the shoes due to excessive wear, remove the plug in the access hole and use a screwdriver to push the actuator lever off the star adjuster and retract the shoes. Clean the brake assembly with brake system cleaner. Remove the hold-down springs, anchor springs, and adjuster assembly. Replace the brake shoes and lubricate the contact points on the backing plate with high-temperature brake grease. Clean and inspect the brake drum for any damage or wear, resurfacing or replacing it if necessary. Repeat these steps for the other rear brake assembly. Adjust the parking brake cable bellcrank on 4WD pick-ups and all 4Runner models. Install the brake drums and pump the brake pedal to adjust the shoes until they slightly drag on the drums. Install the rear wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts. Finally, check the brake pedal position and test the brakes for proper operation before driving in traffic.
