2002 Ford Windstar Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake shoes on 2002 Ford Windstar?

  A: A brake repair should start with taking out the brake drum for service. The inspection of the rear brake assembly needs to check for rear wheel cylinder leakage and rear brake shoe and lining contamination alongside inspecting spring discoloration due to heat. Necessary replacements must be done. The rear brake shoes should be replaced if their thickness measures less than the backing plate or rivets. Start by removing the brake shoe adjusting screw spring then proceed to take out the brake adjuster lever followed by the brake adjuster screw together with the brake shoe hold-down spring and brake shoe and retracting spring. Make the first step to disconnect the rear brake shoe hold-down spring and the brake shoes and their corresponding linings. Detach the parking brake lever clip before taking away the parking brake lever and both rear brake shoes and linings. The installation process requires the reversal order of every component from its removal steps.
