95 4wd - are there only 2 parking brake shoes?

[Vikram]

Looking to replace my parking brake shoes. I thought there was 1 shoe on each wheel, but it seems like there are only shoes for the 2 rear wheels, is that right?

So I just need to buy 2 of the rear shoes and I can take it to my mechanic and i'll be golden?

Yes just the rear wheels. I have only done that job when I had the axles shafts out.

It was possible to do it with the axles in, but I wouldn't want to do it again. I've old enough to have had quite a bit experience doing drum brakes before disc brakes came along.

Yes, I did it like that two time. It slow going, working with the axle in the way. Similar as you do drums

Just remember, note make sure you release the tension on the brake cable before you try to get the rotor off! I stick a drill into hole on emergency brake pedal as I pull on the cable with my right hand.
