SOURCE: Can't get rear parking brake off 04 Yukon Denali XL

You are going to have to pry it over the axle on one side of the park brake shoe assembly with either a pry bar or screwdriver. then just pop the new one back over the axle in the same way. Hope this helps

SOURCE: 2000 gmc yukon xl 5.3,

Sound like a misfire problem, may be as simple as cleaning the water or gunk out of the gas tank which is what I always do 1st because it's easy and inexpensive. If your fuel is contaminated with gunk, grime, water and/or bottom junk like rust this will cause stalling, sputter, lost power in acceleration, etc. Scanned the PCM to know if some fault code is stored there.

Also, t
o get an accurate assessment of the fuel pressure, you will have to install a fuel pressure gauge. Fuel pressure should be 60-66 psi at the fuel rail. If the pressure is too low, the engine will not start and fuel pump replacement will be necessary. It sounds to me as if you have a bad fuel pump.

Additionally, I sugggest read this TSB info: Light Throttle Hesitation or Misfire - keywords 4.3 5.0 5.7 accelerate backfire buck chuggle code decelerate detonation DTC hard harsh hot injector L30 L31 L35 launch miss noise surge #PIP3470 - (Jun 16, 2005)

Light Throttle Hesitation or Misfire
1996-2000 Chevrolet Astro, Blazer, C Pickup, Express, S10, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe
1996-2000 GMC C Pickup, Jimmy, Safari, Savana, Sierra, Sonoma
1996-1999 GMC Suburban
1996-1999 GMC Yukon

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern: The customer concern may be a miss, buck, or fishbite type feeling on a deceleration.

* This condition can usually be duplicated just after a smooth gradual acceleration, cresting a hill, or just after the TCC engages.
* This condition will not occur on a cold engine, it becomes more evident at normal operating temperature.
* A rough idle or poor idle quality may also be noticed.
* Scan data may look normal with only random misfires showing up in misfire data.
* This condition will vary in intensity from just a light bump to a severe buck. The bump or buck caused by this condition can induce a driveline clunk or ringing of the propshaft. The driveline clunk or ringing may be misinterpreted as a transmission or driveline concern.
* This condition is similar to, but far more harsh than the miss/buck/surge created when the CMP offset is set incorrectly.

Recommendation/Instructions:
* Question the customer and verify if there has been any previous repairs made to the vehicle that may have allowed the improper installation of the injectors.
* Use the Tech 2 and verify the CMP ****** is set correctly. Use the current SI procedures for Camshaft ****** Offset Adjustment and adjust as needed.
* If the SI procedures have been completed for the vehicle symptom duplicated, and the diagnostics are inconclusive, it is possible that the SCPI / CPI injector nozzle(s) are not in the proper cylinder location. There is no apparent correlation between the number of improper nozzle locations and the severity of condition.
* If improper injector installation is suspected, remove the Upper Intake Manifold and inspect the injector positions. The engine cylinder numbers are molded into the Injector Fuel Metering Block. Verify the individual cylinder injector poppet positions correspond with the engine cylinder numbers marked on the Fuel Metering Block. Evaluate the customer concern after the injectors are installed into the proper cylinders.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

I just had my 2002 Yukon XL rear barkes replaced. New calipers and pads,the parking brake doesn't work. Shouldn't they have found that when they were doing this work?

Of course they should have checked the parking brakes too. On the Yukon XL, the parking brakes are brake shoes that operate inside of a drum that is molded to the interior side of the rear disc brake rotors. I would take it back to the shop and voice my frustration if I were you and tell them that you feel they should do the parking brakes at no charge for your time and aggravation. They were right there to replace them if they re-surfaced your rotors anyway!

Need instructions for installing parking brake shoes on a 2001 Dodge 3500 pickup

This is a big job for such a small part. I suggest you repair/replace rotors, pads, and anything else back there while you are at it. You will need to remove both wheels on both sides, as well as the axles (I think). See my earlier post on Rear Rotor removal to see how this is done.

You will need a large spindle nut to remove the axles.

DISASSEMBLY:
Once you have access to the parking brakes inside the rotor hat:
1. Lock out the parking brake w/a pair of Vise grips (on the parking brake cable under the cab)
2. Disengage teh park brake cable from behind the rotor assembly to allow easier disassembly of the parking brake shoes.
3. Disassemble the rear park brake shoes.

REASSEMBLY:
1. Reassemble the rear parking brake shoes. This is a typical, small brake drum configuration. Do one side at a time - so you can see how to reassemble each small part. Keep the springs and parts oriented the same: front to front and interior to interior, etc.
2. Release the parking brake cable
3. Install the disc brake rotor(s)
4. Install the disc brake caliper(s)
5. Install tire & wheel assembly
6. Lower the vehicle

Brake Relining
  • Brake linings that are worn to within 1/32 inch (0.79 mm) of a rivet head or that have been contaminated with brake fluid, grease, or oil must be replaced.
f45-27.gif Potential brake shoe problems. Courtesy of Wagner Brake Products.
  • Failure to replace worn linings results in a scored drum. When it is necessary to replace brake shoes, they must also be replaced on the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle. Inspect brake shoes for distortion, cracks, or looseness. If these conditions exist, the shoe must be discarded.
  • Do not let brake fluid, oil, or grease touch the brake lining.
  • If a brake lining kit is used to replace the linings, follow the instructions in the kit and install all the parts provided.
  • The two general methods of attaching the linings to the brake shoes are bonding and riveting.
  • The bonded linings are fastened with a special adhesive to the shoe, clamped in place, then cured in an oven. Instead of using an adhesive, some linings are riveted to the shoe.
  • Riveted linings allow for better heat transfer than bonded linings.
Drum Shoe and Brake Installation
  • Before installing the shoes, be sure to sand or stone the inner edge of the shoe to dress down any slight lining or metal nicks and burrs that could interfere with the sliding upon the support pads.
  • A support (backing) plate must be tight on its mount and not bent. Stone the shoe support pads brightly and dress down any burrs or grooves that could cause the shoes to bind or hang up.
  • Using an approved lubricant, lightly coat the support pads and the threads of servo star wheel adjusters. On rear axle parking brakes, lubricate any point of potential binding in the linkage and the cable. Do not lubricate nonservo brake adjusters other than to free a frozen adjuster with penetrating oil.

  • Reassemble the brakes in the reverse order of disassembly. Make sure all parts are in their proper locations and that both brake shoes are properly positioned in either end of the adjuster.
  • Also, both brake shoes should correctly engage the wheel cylinder pushrods and parking brake links.
  • They should be centered on the backing plate. Parking brake links and levers should be in place on the rear brakes.
  • With all of the parts in place, replace the brake drum.

The parking brake pedal goes all the way to the floor on my 2002 GMC Yukon XL and does not hold the vehicle. I got under the vehicle to check. I pulled on the cable coming from the front and could easily...

I have a F-350 with the same type setup. I think it is more likely the cables have stretched some. Also, my Ford has an adjustment wheel (like regular drum brakes) so you should be able to adjust them to take up some or all of that slack. And last, the shoes for my Ford (aftermarket) are $27 (for BOTH sides). The dealer is out to make a nice profit.
