Scion 04495-52040 Rear Brake Shoe Kit

To remove the brake drum, first, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it securely on jack stands. Release the parking brake and remove the wheel. If the brake drum cannot be easily removed, retract the Brake Shoe Set by pushing the lever off the adjuster star wheel with a narrow screwdriver while turning the adjuster wheel with another screwdriver. Check the drum for cracks, score marks, deep scratches, and hard spots before reinstalling. To install the brake drum, simply place it on the axle flange and install the wheel and lug nuts. Lower the vehicle and tighten the lug nuts to the proper torque specifications. Adjust the brakes by making a number of forward and reverse stops and operating the parking brake until satisfactory pedal action is obtained. Finally, check the operation of the brakes carefully before driving the vehicle.
