drums
question: What parts did this person remove to inspect the front shoes?, context: Rear shoe of drum brakes not working? I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent (disk front brakes, drums on the rear), and I noticed that when braking a grinding noise was coming from the back of my car. I figured that the shoes had worn through and I was grinding metal, but when I took the drums off (probably a few weeks after I first heard the grinding...) I found that the front shoes of both drums seemed to be in okay condition, while the rear shoes looked like they hadn't been engaged in years. Junk (dried brake fluid, maybe?) was caked on and they obviously hadn't been in contact with the drum in a while. I'm very confused as to why this might be. I'm guessing something went wrong in the spring mechanism that engages the shoes, but I haven't been able to find anyone online with a similar issue. It also strikes me as odd that both rear shoes are like this, as it seems that that either both shoes in a drum should be in the same relative condition. Anyone have advice? I'd rather avoid spending a bunch of money diagnosing and fixing at a shop, but I don't know what else to do.
