Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoe on Ford Crown Victoria?
A: The service and repair of parking brake shoes should begin with turning off air suspension electrical power by using the air suspension switch in the luggage area to avoid unexpected changes in air spring volume when hoisting or jacking or towing the vehicle. Before proceeding start by hoisting and supporting the vehicle before taking out the tire and wheel assembly in addition to the brake disc. Carefully remove the brake shoe adjusting screw springs through the use of a scratch awl because it makes the removal and installation process easier. The procedure starts by removing the brake shoe adjustment screw together with the brake shoe hold down springs before extracting both the parking brake shoe and linings. All components need inspection for wear signs and damage before doing any required replacements. Installation requires the opposite steps used for removal while using High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant F6AZ-9L494-AA or equivalent ESE-M12A4-A Ford specification to grease the brake shoe contact points before putting on rear brake shoes. You must also lubricate the adjusting screw threads by using the same lubricating substance. You should adjust the rear brake shoe with a gauge so that its diameter with lining equals 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) less than the drum portion of the brake disc.
Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoes on Ford Escape?
A: The first step for servicing and repair of parking brake shoes requires removing the rear brake disc. Beginning with the parking brake shoe upper return spring detachment the mechanic should proceed to remove both parking brake shoe retaining pins and the two retaining springs. The next sequence requires removal of the parking brake shoe lower return spring before extracting the parking brake shoe adjuster followed by pulling out the parking brake shoes. Begin the installation by following the removal steps in reverse while applying an anti-seize lubricant on the parking brake shoe contact points before inserting the rear parking brake shoes. After applying anti-seize lubricant to adjust screw threads it is essential to adjust the parking brake shoe while also adjusting its lining before conducting a normal parking brake operation check.
Q: How to service and repair the parking brake shoe on Ford F-150?
A: A proper procedure for servicing or repairing the parking brake shoe requires first releasing the parking brake control and eliminating brake system tension by extracting the front cable and conduit as well as utilizing an appropriate retainer mechanism. The vehicle needs to be raised for support then disconnect the tire and wheel assembly from the vehicle. Caution is necessary to prevent allowing the rear disc brake caliper to dangle from the caliper hose because this practice should be replaced by suspending it using wire when removing the rear brake disc caliper through caliper bolt removal. Proceed with removing the caliper to the side before taking out the rear brake disc and then retracting springs for the brake shoe and brake shoe adjusting screws and the rear brake shoe hold-down springs. Survey all elements for degeneration and damage after you take out the inboard brake shoe retracting spring as well as rear brake shoes and linings. Exchange compromised components. Before installing the rear brake shoes and linings with the inboard brake shoe retracting spring, apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or its equivalent silicone compound which meets Ford specification ESE-MlC171-A at the brake shoe contact point. The installation process requires all users to put in the brake shoe hold-down springs followed by brake adjuster screws and brakes shoe adjusting screw spring and outboard brake shoe retracting spring. A Brake Adjusting Gauge should be used for measuring the drum portion of the rear brake disc and the rear brake shoe and lining dimensions should be set to 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) shorter than this measurement. You should place the rear brake disc along with the rear disc brake caliper in position before tightening the caliper anchor plate bolts. After cleaning the wheel hub mount area you can install the wheel together with the tire. The last step involves stretching the parking brake cable system through front parking brake cable and conduit tension while removing the parking brake control retainer before performing a parking brake function check.
