Replacing the parking brake shoes on the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a somewhat complex task. Start by lifting the vehicle to gain easier access to the shoes.

Remove the front left wheel and use a socket spanner to unscrew the pins of the brake caliper, detaching it from the bracket. Release the oil pressure from the caliper, remove the bracket, and unscrew the pins on the brake disc to take it off. Clean the adjuster from rust using a wire brush and lubricate the mechanism thoroughly before fitting the new system.

Install the shoes and pins, then refit the caliper bracket. Once finished, reattach the wheel and lower the vehicle.
