if your ebrake doesnt work it is def a problem with the rear drums
brakes went pop
88 jetta gl. rear drum.
i was driving today and hit the brakes and the i heard a pop. next thing you know, my brakes are terrible, like to the floor terrible and my ebrake does not work at all. i am almost positive it has to do with the rear drums bc that is where i deff heard the noise from. never really had to do deal with drums before. any one have an idea of what it could be? thanks alot! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

drums, shoes, the kit with the springs and retainers and such, wheel cylinders. I believe thats all

and no the drums just come as a drum, you have to install the shoes to the backing plate with the kit u buy. If you have never done drum brakes before, take a picture of the assembly with the brake drum off, a nice close-up shot. ALSO do one side at a time, leave one side assembled while u redo the other side so you have a reference to look at http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
