How hard is it to install new brake shoes and pads on a 92 camaro?
I was also told that with new shoes my e-brake should work.
I own a shop, and think this; Remove the wheels, and remove the front calipers and brake pads. Remove the rotors, and have them turned or replace them. Push the calipers back with a C-clamp but place a block in the other side so you don’t push the caliper all the way out. Push them back slowly, and realize you will probably push fluid out of the master cylinder, so its a good idea to remove some before hand. Purchase a can of brake cleaner, and some anti squeal for the backs of the pads. Don’t handle the surface of the pads or shoes any more than you have to, and wash them down when you are done so they will work right, and also wash the rotor good on both sides. When you are done, push the brake pedal lightly several times to work the pistons of the calipers back out or you won’t have any brakes when you hit them. Don’t push the brake pedal all the way down, but just enough to work them back out, or you will set off a brake light if it goes all the way to the floor. For the back brakes; Remove one side “only” and leave the other to go by when you replace the shoes. Pay attention to the front shoe lining, as one shoe is longer than the other, and you musn’t get this mixed up. When you are done, turn the adjuster wheel, and if it doesn’t click as you turn it, then its not in there right. Hint; put the lower spring into position, move the upper parts close together to open the lower up enough to get the adjuster into place, and then spring them back apart. Install them this way, and pay attention to the spring thats near the adjusting wheel, it can’t be hitting the adjuster, or its wrong. This is why you go by the other side. If in doubt, go to the library and look at it in a “Chilton’s Repair Manual” and you will see what you need to know. Wash the back brake shoes down good along with the drum. Center the shoes up as best you can, and replace the drum. Working through the slot use a brake spoon or screwdriver to turn the adjuster wheel. Adjust it up until you feel drag on the drum. Now do the other side just like you did this side. When done, push the brake pedal down to center the shoes on both sides, and turn them again making sure you have a little drag on them, if not; adjust them until you do. Install the dust boot back into the holes for the adjusters, if you had to knock them out, then get some boots from the parts store to go in them. Now, your emergency brake should work just fine. If not, then the cable may need to be tightened up a little under the car. Hold long part with vise grips, and turn the nut/nuts to acheive the desired action of the emergency brake pedal inside the car. Check your fluid level, and top it off with at least DOT-3 fluid, but don’t fill all the way up, just up to within about a 1/4 of an inch from the top. Check the brakes to make sure they are working as they should before you try to drive the vehicle.
Glad to help out, Good luck!!!
