Hi all,
I have a 2003 Montero Sport and going to change the rear shoes tomorrow. Yep a bummer, it has rear drums and not disc. Anyway, I have changed the rear shoes on many different vehicles and never needed any special tools but have on some disc brakes vehicles. Anyone know if there is anythingunusual I should be aware of before I get started. Ilove getting all greasy but hate it when I have to stop in the middle and make a run to the parts store. Anysuggestions or comments are welcomed. Thanks!!

 

You dont need any special tools, but they do make tools for drums that make the job a lot easier.

 

patience.. drums are more involved than disc, I remember changing my 64 1/2 mustang's all 4 drum brakes! and also my 98 eclipse RS rears. bleh!

haynes/ chilton manuals have a generic procedure on drums, check a manual out while you are in the auto supply store

the tools dsm1990gsx mentions are a great help.
