Some research I’ve done shows that all 2nd Gens should have rear combo brakes. Which means the E-Brake shoes inside the rotor cap on top of an inner drum. That’s what I’ve seen on Ry the Car Guy’s video and what pops up when I search for rear brake and rotor replacement.
All that’s registered from removing the rear tires to do rear shock replacement is that I have a disc. Solid and not appearing to be in two parts. I may be wrong and will need to confirm by pulling off the tires again to measure my rotor thickness.
Here is where I’ll tell you I have a 2010 S, 4WD that I bought used 2 years ago. I’ve yet to replace the brakes but, feels like I’ll need to do so soon. I’ve also noticed since I never use the E-Brake, but while teaching my niece to drive a few months ago, she was using it. When I would go to drive after dropping her off, I’d feel NO resistance. Handle pulled ALL the way up.
Back to my findings. Searching online for parts, all that comes up is straight up disc rotors. Diagrams in an image search show the same when they specify it’s for a 2010. Can’t find any diagram showing where the shoes are located in that setup. Pricing for the disc/drum combo pricing at around seven bills. I’m not wanting to drop $700-800 if I’m not even using the E-Brake.
So, my big question is: Can anyone confirm my findings? If so, and what I need is plain disc rotors, does anyone have a diagram or good video showing how to fix my E-Brake for much less than $700? If I have good shoes and/or a drum/ stopping apparatus, I’d like to make it operable again, just for S&G’s.
