Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear drum dimensions before installation, especially the 7.09" x 1.20" brake specification on Civic CRX and Civic del Sol applications. Inspect drums, wheel cylinders, return springs, and adjusters for wear before assembly. Proper cleaning of the backing plate and contact points helps the shoes seat correctly and supports even braking performance.
