Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear drum brake dimensions and shoe configuration before installation. Some applications require a leading and trailing shoe arrangement, and certain fitments note 8.66" x 1.4" brakes. Inspect drums, wheel cylinders, springs, and adjusters during service so the new shoes can seat correctly. Clean all contact points and follow the vehicle service manual for adjustment and break-in procedures.
