Before doing a rear brake job order the shoes and drums and get your tools all organized. If your drums are within limits can get them turned at a machine shop and reuse them but for my brake job it cost me $10 more to just buy new ones so I went with that route as new parts are always better.

This article will show you how to do a rear brake job on a 1993 Honda Civic hatchback although this is the same on all rear drum 1992-1995 Honda Civic’s.

Before starting the brake job, secure the front wheels with some wheels stops so the car doesn’t roll. Then raise the vehicle, support it by jack stands and make sure to release the e-brake

Step 1 – Screw in 12mm bolts into the brake drum slowly and evenly, to make sure it comes out straight.

Step 2 – Spray the brake assembly with brake cleaner until all the brake dust has dripped down to the ground. You might have to repeat the process to make sure all the brake components are clean. The cleaner the brake assembly the easier it is to do the job.

Step 3 – Use needle nose pliers to push back and twist the tension pin that holds the brake assembly clip on each side.

Step 4 – Use needle nose pliers to release the spring that sits vertically in the brake assembly. This spring holds the self adjuster from slipping.
