rear brake shoe removal

[james750]

Ive started doing my rear parking brake cables. i pulled the drum and found where the cable connects but have no clue from there on, i think i need to remove the rear brake shoe. But i don't know how. any info would be of great help, if anyone has pics (with descriptions) or a how to it would be of help as well.

 

As always, thanks in advance

yeah, i used search, but that doesnt answer my question, i know how its hooked up, i just don't know how to remove it. do i need to remove the shoe? how do i disconnect the cable from the assembly? and if i do need to remove the shoe, how do i do it?

Pull the drum off, take a look and it should be hooked up on the bottom of the drum. Then may need to loosen the adjuster on the shoes but then you can hook the cable back up onto the shoe clip thingy.

the hookup is behind the shoes, not on the drum.

 

How do u loosen the adjuster on the shoes?
