How do i change rear drum brakes on a 1993 Ford Bronco?

Go out and grab yourself two books...The Hayne%26#039;s Manual for your year Bronco, and then the Hayne%26#039;s Brake Manual. This is an intense job and will take time and patience. The books will give you a step by step right there by your side, and most importantly, they%26#039;ll have pictures.





The reason this is so important is because drum brakes use springs to get the pressure from the brake cylinders in each drum to apply evenly to the shoes. One of the best pieces of advice, other than the books, is to get a digital or old school polaroid camera. Pop off both wheels, then the drums. Work on one wheel at a time, but when it comes time to reassemble to the springs, you%26#039;ll have a real-time guide to go by and it%26#039;s a lot easier than getting up and looking and comparing, sitting down, getting back up....





It is a serious job, will take some time if you%26#039;ve never done it before and definitely some patience. It%26#039;s not an impossible job though. It%26#039;s the first thing I learned when I was 15 years old...drum brakes. I did it by myself one weekend and it worked out great.








BTW--grab the Hayne%26#039;s manual because there are a few specific (but cheap) tools you will need to make this easier for yourself. It describes them as well as the actual process for the job. Good luck.|||This is a bit involved for this type of forum. However, if you can turn a wrench, bleed brakes, and follow written directions, you can do it. A 1993 service manual can be found in the reference section of your local library quite easily.
