[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 974428, member: 52972"] Chris27, Pads??? The Parking brakes use shoes not pads because they are an internal brake drum style activated by a cable. Not sure why they would have fallen off their mountings since I have never heard of that. I know that occasionally you can push the pistons out of the wheel cylinders on drum brakes, but even that is very rare on most vehicles. For parking brake shoes, they should not be too hard to figure out how to install new shoes and get them assembled right. Just find a good reference manual with diagrams. If you had a 2001 or 2002 model with rear drum brakes, that would be more complicated because the hydraulic brakes and the mechanical parking brake are incorporated into the same set of brake shoes....not harder, just more parts to deal with. :grin: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
