Replacing Rear Drums and Shoes

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 1 - Years 1993-2000
Part: Brake drums and shoes

Lift and secure the vehicle on appropriate axle stands and remove the rear wheel without engaging the handbrake. Remove the drum retaining nuts from the studs, then take off the drum using a screwdriver and a few taps with a hammer. Once the drum is removed, clean the shoes and consider taking a photo of any details before disassembly. Remove the retaining clips and pins, then detach the shoes from the bottom and then from the top, also releasing the handbrake cable. If you notice oil leaks from the wheel cylinder, replace it by first removing the oil pipe from the rear and then the retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new shoes and wheel cylinder, ensuring the springs are secured and bleeding the air.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
