• Need for an OE-style replacement during rear brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify drum diameter, bolt circle, hub hole/register, and mounting style before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses a 4-bolt, 130 mm bolt circle hub-and-drum setup and compare the existing drum dimensions to part number 122.33006. Inspect brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware condition during service so the new drum can seat evenly and perform as intended.

For Volkswagen Beetle and Volkswagen Golf brake drum replacement jobs, measure the existing drum before installation and replace any drum that exceeds the maximum brake diameter discard specification of 249.50 mm.
