2001 GMC Yukon XL 1500 Parking Brake Shoe

The proper way is to install the adjuster assembly to the park brake shoes, the park brake shoes to the park brake actuator, the park brake shoe anchor springs, and pins, the park brake shoe return spring, the rotor, the park brake cable to the park brake actuator lever, and the tire and wheel.

The proper way is to install the parking brake shoe assembly, slide the park brake shoe into position and seat into the retaining spring, and install the rotor, the park brake cable, and the tire and wheel.

The tools required include J 21177-A Drum-to-Brake Shoe Clearance Gauge.

The proper way is to set the J21177-A so that it contacts the inside diameter of the rotor, position the J 211 77-A over the shoe and the lining at the widest, turn the adjuster nut until the lining just contacts the J21177-A, repeat steps 1-3 for the opposite side, and the clearance between the park brake shoe and the rotor is 0.6604 mm (0.026 inches).

The proper way is to remove the tire and the wheel, relieve the tension on the park brake cables and remove the park brake cable from the park brake actuator lever, the rotor, the park brake shoe assembly from the backing plate, and the park brake shoe assembly from the vehicle.
