Hey all, I know this is a bit off topic, I also placed in general maintenance and got no reply as of yet, the question is about the drivers side parking brake shoe on an 01 Alero. I joined an Alero forum but there are very few members and question hasn't been answered.

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find detailed info on how to replace the parking brake shoe or at least get it off, as well as a diagram maybe? ANY help would be greatly appreciated. The Chilton's manual hasn't been much help at all.
