Acura 43153-S3V-A01 Parking Brake Shoe

Remove the brake disc. Measure the thickness of the lining material on the shoes. If the lining has worn down to 1 mm or less, the shoes must be replaced. Inspect the drum portion of the disc for scoring, grooves, or cracks due to heat. If any of these conditions exist or there is significant wear to the drum, the disc must be replaced. Wash off the brake parts with brake system cleaner. Before removing anything, clean the brake assembly with brake cleaner and allow it to dry - position a drain pan under the brake assembly to catch the residue - DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR TO BLOW BRAKE DUST OFF THE PARTS! Follow the accompanying illustrations for the brake shoe replacement procedure. Be sure to stay in order and read the caption under each illustration. Install the brake disc and the disc retaining screws. Adjust the rear parking brake shoes. Install the caliper bracket and brake caliper. Be sure to tighten the bolts. Install the wheel and tighten the lug nuts to the torque specified. Break in the new shoes by performing the following procedure: Set and release the parking brake a few times. Set the parking brake at two to four clicks. Drive the vehicle one-quarter mile and do not exceed 30 miles per hour. Stop the vehicle and then RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE IMMEDIATELY. Allow the parking brake shoes and disc/drum to cool for 10 minutes. Set the parking brake and count the number of clicks that it travels. It should be between about four to six clicks - if it's not, check the parking brake adjustment at the shoes and then adjust the parking brake cable.
