  Q: How to Maintain and Fix the Parking Brake Shoe on a Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: Service and repair of parking brake shoes require turning off the Air Suspension switch found in the luggage compartment to stop air springs from unexpected inflation or deflation during the process. Start the project by taking out the Brake Disc from the rear wheel. You can take out the adjuster by disconnecting both the brake shoe return spring and the adjusting spring through the help of a scratch awl. You should detach the parking brake actuator by pushing the brake shoes to connect before pulling out the actuator and freeing the Parking Brake Cable end. My next step involves the removal of brake shoe hold-down springs followed by the parking brake shoe and its attached linings. Check every component for signs of destructive wear but replace all damaged parts. To reassemble start by applying anti-seize lubrication to the brake shoe contacts and follow the uninstillation procedure in reverse order. The threads of the adjusting screw need lubrication with anti-seize lubricant. The proper brake adjusting gauge enables users to set rear brake shoe and lining diameters at a width of 0.5 mm (0.020 inch) less than the drum portion of the brake disc while adjusting parking brake cable tension and then verifying parking brake functionality.
