How to Replace the Rear Brake Shoes on a Suzuki Samurai

Model: Suzuki Samurai JB, JA, Sj40, Sj30 - Years 1989-2003
Part: Brake drums and shoes

To replace the rear brake shoes on a Suzuki Samurai, it is necessary to lift the rear axle of the car with a jack or ramp, so that the rear wheels are not in contact with the ground. This will allow you to loosen the bolts securing the wheels, removing them from their housing to access the components underneath. Here, you will need to unscrew the bolts securing the drum cover and access the underlying shoes, which must be removed by disconnecting their cables. Once the shoes are freed, you can insert the new ones and reassemble all the removed parts.
