How to Replace Brake Drum and Shoes

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Brake drums and shoes

Remove the protective cover from the hub and take off the nut, then dismantle the drum using the appropriate puller. Remove both shoes from the support. If they are stuck, tap them lightly with a hammer. Unscrew the brake screws and remove all parts. Clean all brake components thoroughly from rust, mud, and deposits. Prepare the new linings, lubricate the drum well, and install it. Install the return springs. Install the brake cable. Refit the remaining springs in their positions. Ensure the components move freely. Refit the drum after cleaning it thoroughly with a deoxidising spray and check its proper functioning by pulling the handbrake cable.
