Parking Brake Shoe Help
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.

to remove the shoe/hardware
-Position the hook end of the tool under the universal spring and lightly pull the universal spring end out of the primary shoe web hole. Hold the universal spring while removing the primary brake shoe.

I can scan the documents into my home pc and email them to you, they may help. Whats your email address?
