Adjust parking brake 2000 e350 super duty

A SOLUTION for my 95 E350 club wagon: High speed vibration at 70 that went extreme if braking. Checked and replaced every other likely cause. The fix came when discovering that in the rear drums the mechanism to activate the emergency/parking brake was jammed and corroded. This caused the brakes to drag slightly and heat up and glaze the brake shoes. Cleaning and lubricating that mechanism (along with new shoes) made the severe vibration go away. The mechanic said that in 20 years of fixing cars, he had never seen this.
The vibration felt like it was in the front end, but not so. Before finding the problem there was wasted costs in parts and labor that did not fix the problem; including wheel balancing, rotor and pad replacements, shoe and drum replacement, wheel bearing replacement, suspension bushing replacement, shock absorber, pitman arm, sway bar, ball joints, sway bar bushing replacement, and ball joint.
Hopefully you can save all that cost and time by a quick check of the drum emergency brake mechanism. The good side is my suspension is good for another 200,000 miles now. That was costly.

Replacing rear drum brakes. Need good diagram to indicate how to put it back together.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Light Duty Systems Fig. 1: Light duty brake system components 88489g21.gif
  1. Raise and support the vehicle and remove the wheel and brake drum from the wheel to be worked on. NOTE: If you have never replaced the brakes on a van before and you are not too familiar with the procedures involved, only dissemble and assemble one side at a time, leaving the other side intact as a reference during reassembly.
  2. Install a clamp over the ends of the wheel cylinder to prevent the pistons of the wheel cylinder from coming out, causing loss of fluid and much grief.
  3. Contract the brake shoes by pulling the self-adjusting lever away from the starwheel adjustment screw and turn the starwheel up and back until the pivot nut is drawn onto the starwheel as far as it will come.
  4. Pull the adjusting lever, cable and automatic adjuster spring down and toward the rear to unhook the pivot hook from the large hole in the secondary shoe web. Do not attempt to pry the pivot hook from the hole.
  5. Remove the automatic adjuster spring and the adjusting lever.
  6. Remove the secondary shoe-to-anchor spring with a brake tool. (Brake tools are very common implements and are available at auto parts stores). Remove the primary shoe-to-anchor spring and unhook the cable anchor. Remove the anchor pin plate. Fig. 2: Use an appropriate tool to disengage the retracting springs 88489g22.gif

How do you replace the rear brakes on a 2001 Ford F250

First, get a set of brake shoes.
Second pull off wheels on both sides then remove the brake drums on both sides.
On one side pull off brake shoes springs clamps ect.
Using the side not dissasembled as an example, use it as a reference while assembling the side apart. Then pull apart the other side, and use the side reassembled to put together that side using it as a reference.
Replace drums and wheels, good luck, and give me a nice vote please.

The rear drum brakes:
  • Have internal shoes that expand against the brake drum (1126).
  • Are a single-anchor type.
  • Are actuated by one rear wheel cylinder (2262).
  • Have two pistons in the rear wheel cylinder (2261). One exerts force against the upper end of the primary shoe; the other exerts force against the upper end of the secondary shoe.
  • Adjust rear brake shoes and linings (2200) automatically.
  • Need manual brake adjustment if the adjusters are not operating properly or after the rear brake shoes and linings have been replaced.
When the brake pedal is applied, hydraulic fluid pressure forces the pistons in the rear wheel cylinder outward, moving the rear brake shoes and linings against the brake drum.
The rear drum brake system includes the parking brake mechanism. Refer to Section 206-05 .
