2006 Ford Taurus Brake Shoe Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake shoes on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: The brake drum removal procedure starts the process of servicing brake shoes. The inspection of the rear brake assembly should include testing for any leaking from the rear wheel cylinder followed by an inspection of the rear brake shoes and linings for contamination and necessary replacement of worn parts. Brake shoes and linings should have their minimum thickness checked from the backing plate or rivets and replacement is required if needed. Evaluate spring appearance for heat effects followed by a necessary exchange and ensure the adjusting lever matches the brake adjuster screw correctly. The brake shoe adjusting screw spring needs removal before handling the brake adjuster lever and brake adjuster screw. The removal begins by taking out the brake shoe hold-down spring followed by removing the brake shoe together with the retracting spring. Remove the brake shoe hold-down spring once more before taking out both the brake shoe along with its lining. The parking brake lever clip should be discarded before removing the brake shoe and lining from the parking brake lever. The total procedure ends via executing steps in reverse order for reinstallation.
