Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the brake drum diameter and shoe width before installation to confirm the 250 x 45 specification. Inspect the drum surface, wheel cylinders, return springs, and adjusters during service, and replace worn components as needed. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the correct brake hardware separately. Confirm the vehicle’s build date on 1992 Taurus and 1992 Sable applications, since fitment changes begin after 3/15/92.
