  Q: How to Address Brake Shoe Issues on a Mercury Sable?

  A: You should start brake shoe service and repair by uninstalling the brake drum. Check the rear brake assembly for leakage from Wheel Cylinder as well as contamination on brakes shoes and linings while inspecting heat stains on the brake springs. Replace defective components. Perform a minimum thickness measurement of the rear brake shoes and linings above the backing plate or rivets for replacement. You should remove the brake shoe adjusting screw spring and then take out the brake adjuster lever and brake adjuster screw. The technician must first remove the brake shoe hold-down spring then detach the brake shoe together with its retracting spring before taking out the rear brake shoe hold-down spring. The process ends with discarding the parking brake lever clip as you detach the rear brake shoes from the parking brake lever. Follow the opposite sequence of steps to reinstall the parts.
