  Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoes on Ford Expedition?

  A: One must relieve tension on the Parking Brake Cable system before performing any repairs on the parking brake shoes. Begin by taking out the Brake Disc then move forward with removing the front parking brake shoe retaining clip and pin after which comes the parking brake shoe adjuster. A proper tool should separate the lower part of the parking brake shoes to remove the parking brake shoe adjuster spring. After moving the front parking brake shoe upwards out of the guide flange the shoe can be removed by rotating it outward while detaching the parking brake shoe return spring. Moving on to the rear parking brake shoe requires first removing its retaining clip along with its pin and finally separating the shoe. Every component needs inspection for signs of excessive wear or damage. Treat worn or damaged parts with necessary replacements. The installation process requires the application of a low grease amount onto the six shoe contact points on the disc brake shield but shoes need to stay free of grease as they can become contaminated. The rear parking brake shoe installation requires retaining pin and clip attachment. Begin by attaching the return spring to both shoes before turning the front shoe into the guide flange and sliding it into correct position. Begin installation by putting the retaining pin and clip on the front shoe while you must use a suitable tool to set apart the parking brake shoe adjuster spring and adjuster during the operation. With whomever is available assist by pulling down the front parking brake cable from its coupler and removing the retaining pin from the parking brake lever for enabling the parking brake cable system. Examine the parking brake to ensure its functionality is correct.
