  Q: How to replace brake shoes on Nissan Sentra?

Due to the fact that these springs continually go through a process of heating and cooling, they loose their force with time which may result into the shoes rubbing against the drum and wearing out more rapidly than normal. Begin by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands before replacing the brake shoes. Then, remove the wheels and release the parking brake. This involves either backing off the adjuster wheel or retracting shoes to remove brake drums. Before disassembling, clean this type of brake assembly with brake system cleaner.

Check for any cracks on it, score marks, deep scratches or hard spots before you re-install the drum; if necessary take it to an automotive machine shop for resurfacing.
