Maybe its just me but the search feature doesnt seem to turn up answers anymore. While investigating the infamous clunk in my rear end, I finally pulled the wheels off and the brake shoes are toast on the forward shoe on both sides, while still a lot of life on the rearward shoes. Had the oil changed at the dealer today and they said the center bearing is still good. Difficult to pull the drums without wiggling the e-brake cable so I think the e-brake was not releasing correctly, causing the clunk.

So, do I rebuild the wheel cylinders if they are not leaking? Or just turn the drums and buy cheapo shoes at the discount parts store?
