To remove the rear brake shoes of the Mercedes A-Class, loosen the bolts that secure the wheel, completely removing it to access the brake underneath. This will allow you to unscrew the additional bolts that secure the wheel hub, removing it entirely and providing access to the underlying components.

Here you will find the brake shoes, which need to be freed from their housing by unscrewing the bolts that secure them to the corresponding spring. Once they are released, you can replace them with new replacement parts.
