2. Remove the brake drum and shoes, and disconnect the parking brake cable from the parking brake lever.
3. Remove the flange bolts (A) and the parking brake cable (B) from the backing plate (C).





4. Reinstall the parking brake cable in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
^ Be careful not to bend or distort the cable.
^ Connect the parking brake cable to the brake lever, and install the brake shoes and drum.
