You guys have been helpful before so I thought I'd give it another shot. Thanks,

Is it an XE or SE,LE model?
If it's an SE or LE, the rear disc pads are easy to come off. Just need the correct socket or wrench size and remove the bolt. The caliper lifts up and from there, the pads will come off. From there, you can get some sandpaper, 200 grit, I guess, rough up the pads a bit. Same with the discs, rough em up a little.
If it's an XE, same thing, but less work. rough up the drum lining and shoes with sandpaper.
After all that, clean them up with some brake cleaner. Bout 2 hours of work if you take your time and be thorough for bout $5(brake cleaner). See if that works.
Have fun!
