You asking about the parking brake shoes? It's a royal pain in the ***, took me an hour and a half and it came down to finally calling my dad over to help me, because 2 arms at full strength weren't enough and that was only one side. The other side I went to do, and realized I have a leaking rear axle seal, so I decided to hold off and just adjusted it out a little then cleaned the ever living piss out of it with brake cleaner until I have time to get to the axle seal. At that time I will put new shoes on that side. That was my plan for today, but it is pissing rain and I refuse to work in the rain - I grew up in Western Washington and hate it with a passion.

Or are you asking how to replace the parking brake inside the cab of the truck (just realized this was in Interior Discussion). lol.

Sorry, I was refering to the assembly on the drivers side kick panel

regarding the park brake shoes: Once they are loose, to get them over the hub, twist it to get one end over the hub, then it rolls off like an oring, sorta.

Yeah, my problem wasn't getting them off, it was getting them back on. I got them off in about 15 seconds... stretching them out with the springs on to get them back over wasn't working, so I put the top two springs on and still had to wrestle it to get them stretched apart enough.

Anyways, no more about this subject, back to the OP's question!

That'd be good to know for me also. Mine popped a rivet and now the cable drops between the two halves so my ebrake doesn't engage enough.
