Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear drum diameter, shoe width, and vehicle fitment before installation. Inspect the brake drum surface for scoring, glazing, or out-of-round wear, since shoe performance depends on clean, even drum contact. After installation, adjust the parking brake according to the vehicle service procedure and confirm proper rear brake engagement on a controlled test.
