2009 Ford Ranger Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake shoes on 2009 Ford Ranger?

  A: Service and repair of brake shoes starts with confirming total release of parking brake control. The brake drum removal will expose the rear brake assembly for inspection where you should check the wheel cylinder for leakage before replacing it if needed. Check brake shoes and lining products for any form of contamination before verifying they exceed specified plate or rivet measurements for replacement purposes. Check for heat damage on the springs while examining their suitable replacement status and verify if the brake adjuster screw receives proper contact from the adjusting lever. First disconnect the brake shoe adjusting lever cable before proceeding to remove springs and adjusting screws from the assembly by disconnecting the cable guide and taking out adjusting lever return springs as well as the brake shoe adjusting lever. You must first eliminate the brake shoe adjusting screw spring and brake adjuster screw assembly then move on to removing the brake shoe anchor pin guide plate together with the parking brake strut. Detach all brake shoe hold-down springs and rear brakes with their linings from the assembly and remove brake shoe hold-down pins too along with disconnecting the parking brake lever. Attach the parking brake lever after compressing its cable spring for installation. Put specified silicone brake caliper grease on the brake backing plate for cleaning and lubrication steps. Place rear brake shoes together with the parking brake lever before inserting brake shoe hold-down spring pins while including the springs into place. Screw in the parking brake strut only after placing the parking brake link spring correctly and installing the brake shoe anchor pin guide plate. Install the short brake shoe retracting spring after properly placing the brake shoe adjusting lever cable and then set the long brake shoe retracting spring into position. To prepare the brake adjuster screw set install silicone brake caliper grease on the threads then place the screw inside the nut before rotating it by half a turn. Position the brake adjuster screw assembly after mounting it while placing both the adjusting lever cable and the adjusting lever return spring correctly. Use the brake shoe adjusting lever cable to test automatic self-adjuster operation through assessment of brake shoe adjuster assembly rotation and verification it moves to the following notch after cable release. To complete the process wrap up by readjusting the brakes followed by brake drum installation.
