to change the brake shoes on the rear of my 87 Blazer? I’ve done it before, but it was about 3 or 4 years ago. Time it will take on each side, how much of a bitch it will be, etc…? Thanks ---

Easy job. Have done em in about 1-2 minutes a side. Not including lifting the car and taking tires off, and replacing tires… ---

I just know that it tends to be a bitch, but I can’t remember exactly how to do it from doin it a couple years ago… oh well, its not my daily driver, if it takes me a day to do it off and on, no biggie… just the idea to do 1 side at a time and keep an eye on the other side will help ---

I wanted to keep the ebrake origionally for inspection reasons and what not but JS talked me out of it. He reminded me I have 2 ebrakes available already… LEFT side down and RIGHT side down, haha. I can just use my frame rails as brake pads. 🤣 :burnout: ---

If you have a digital camera you might want to take a pic before you remove the springs, shoes, etc., to make sure you get everything back on the same way. Also pay attention to which shoe is the primary and which is the secondary. ---
