The Ford Escort brake shoes come in a primary and a secondary shoe that needs to be replaced in the exact location that they were removed from.
Leaking Ford Escort wheel cylinders are the number one cause of brake system failures on Ford's equipped with rear drum brakes. The o-rings on the Ford Escort wheel cylinder pistons wear out over time and let the brake fluid seep thru to the outside of the cylinder. The wheel cylinder boot usually traps a small amount of fluid before it contaminates the entire rear brake assembly.
