Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the emergency brake shoes on this 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. We show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side is the same procedure. You'll need for this is new brake shoes from 1AAuto.com, 10mm and 21mm sockets, a ratchet, a flat blade screwdriver, locking pliers, a hammer, and jack and jack stands.
Start off prying off your hubcap. Then use this 21mm socket to loosen up your wheel cover. After the wheel cover is removed remove these 21mm lug nuts. If you don't have air powered tools, you want to loosen the lug nuts up while the vehicle is on the ground, jack it up, and remove them the rest of the way. Once those are removed the wheel falls right off.
You want to remove your brake caliper first by removing these two 10mm nuts. We'll just fast-forward as Don does this. Now, using a flat blade screwdriver, pry the inner brake pad in to push that caliper piston in. Then, using your flat blade screwdriver, just pry that caliper off. Now just set it aside. Now using a hammer just slightly tap off your rotor unless you can just pull it off freely without a problem.
Next, we need to remove the springs. You want to remove this one and this one right here. Using locking pliers, grab on to the bottom of the spring and pull it out of that lower brake shoe, and then carefully lift the spring up and pull it down and out. You may have to maneuver it a little bit to get it out of there. Then use your locking pliers on the other spring, pull it out of that top shoe and it just pulls down and off. Next you want to push that clip off that pin so you can pull the shoes forward and off. You want to do the same thing with the lower one. There's a clip with a pin on the back and you just want to pull that pin free and it should pull off.
On the right are the old brake shoes; on the left are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they're going to mount exactly the same. Take your first brake shoe, push that pin through, and then push that clip back on and slide it back. Then take your lower brake shoe and do same thing. Now, you want to line up the brake shoes onto this clip. Once you got it lined up put that large spring back in. You want to clip it into that top brake shoe, and then, using those locking pliers, pull it down and clip it into the lower brake shoe. Now put your adjustor into place on the brake shoes.
Then once you've got adjuster lined up, take that spring and clip it back into place. Now put your rotor back into place. You want just a little bit of resistance here. If you don't have any resistance, or you have too much, then you want to use this adjuster to just remove your brake shoes in and out. Now push your caliper back into place. We'll fast-forward as Don replaces those two 10mm bolts and tightens them up. You want to torque those bolts to about 20 to 25 foot-pounds.
Once you're all set put your wheel back on, replace your lug nuts, and tighten them preliminarily, lower the vehicle and tighten them the rest of the way. Then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to 100 foot-pounds. We'll fast-forward as he replaces the wheel cover and tightens up those 21mm lug nut caps and then replaces that hubcap.
