Take it for a test drive and make sure you didn't tighten it too much. If you did, you will hear your rear brakes sqeak every time your wheel makes a complete revolution.

You are retarded!:lol: Even when you have disc, you still have shoes. Unlike with drum where you only have shoes for E-brakes and regular brakes, with disc you have pads used for your brakes and shoes inside the disc used only for E-brake.


They are not hard to replace dude, remove the rear caliper, pull the disc out and the shoes are just like on drum assembly, few springs to remove and reassemble everything.

im pretty sure replacing the shoes is a little more complicated than that from what ive heard. everythings spring loaded.
usually drums have better ebrakes than discs

Not true.

Yes they are spring loaded but not hard to do, well for me anyway. I've done many but it's not rocket science and I don't even use specific tools used to replace shoes. I use needle nose pliers and that it.
