I still don't like the 'shrink-shrink' noise. Something is unbalanced or not aligned properly.

When replacing the brake shoes, first loosen the Ebrake cable at the handle a lot. Adjustment screw is in the center console, hidden by a trap door in the bottom of the storage area and accessible with a flat screwdriver.

The rear shoes are held up with 2 metal tabs, probably a little rusty. These tabs must be at 90 degrees and are easily bent when someone tries to take off the rotors. Use brake grease on any moving part, including the springs.
The star wheel adjuster must be adjusted before tightening the Ebrake cable.

Clean off the hubs with a wire brush before putting the rotor back on. I use a little silicone brake grease to help keep the rust from forming too soon.
