To replace the rear brake shoes on the Ford Focus, lift the car using a jack so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground. After the wheel is lifted, loosen the bolts securing it to its housing, completely remove it, and access the components at the rear.

You can remove the drum by unscrewing the central nut that secures it, thus accessing the underlying shoes: these must be removed from their housing by freeing them from the brake actuator mechanism and replaced with new spare parts.
