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

  A: You should remove the brake drum as the initial step for servicing or repairing brake shoes. The inspection of the rear Wheel Cylinder should include checks for leakage together with inspections of rear brake shoes for contamination and heat discoloration on springs. Replacements should occur when necessary. You should replace the shoes and linings if their minimum thickness falls below the backing plate or rivets. You must first remove the brake shoe adjusting screw spring after which you can take out the brake adjuster lever and the brake adjuster screw. Start by removing successively the brake shoe hold-down spring followed by the brake shoe combination with its retracting spring and finally the rear brake shoe hold-down spring. The removal process starts by discarding the parking brake lever clip while separating rear brake shoes and linings from the parking brake lever. You should follow the opposite steps of removal to finish the installation.
