Brake grinding

RE: Brake grinding
I just changed my rear brakes last weekend. First on the backing plate you will find a rubber plug. Pull it out of course. Then with a small screwdriver or piece of metal at an angle (I have a brake spoon)there is an star wheel you adjust. it will pull the pads in away from the drum. I believe you rotate the starwheel up. If needed a little penetrating fluid around the wheel studs and hubcentric ring(I like PB Blaster)and a few hits on each side with a hammer should get it loose. You can also see how this is done from Autozones website. They have repair guides. just look up a 99 neon. The drums are all the same. Follow the steps its pretty easy. I did not remove the hub. Also becareful when attaching the springs. It can be done with pliers but a spring tool makes it a bit easier.
