I am trying to replace the rear brake shoes and I need to know how to remove the emergency brake cable from the shoes and the part that hold the shoes on to the back plate. Can you send me a video on it? It would help me out a lot.

Hello,

In order to replace the rear shoes, you will have to use a special tool.
Which will allow you to remove the shoes from the parking brake adjuster.

Here is a helpful guide on how to change the rear shoes:
