Just another quick video showing how to change the rear brake shoes and brake wheel cylinder on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado Z 71 Off Road Truck. I disconnected the parking brake cable at the wheel as you see in the video, but you can also disconnect the small section of the Parking Cable below the truck to give yourself more slack to make this connection at the brake lever easier.
There's a few specialty tools made for these Single Spring type of brakes. I was able to pry this spring back in using a screwdriver and long handled needle nose pliers. The links above are for a couple of the specialty tools made by Lisle.
I also got lucky and was able to use a small socket (don't remember what size) that kind of fit on the torx bolt on the wheel cylinder, but the correct tool is an E8 Reverse Torx socket. Also called Female Star sockets. I picked up a set for cheap on Amazon, and I have used it a few times on different jobs already.
