We know that you know your job and do it well, but it’s always good to share the fundamentals of best practice. Here are a few fitting tips when you’re working with brake shoes.
Size matters. Before fitting new TRW Aftermarket Brake Shoes, always carefully measure the maximum diameter of the brake drum you’re working on. This will be marked on the brake drum itself. Never use drums if they are close to, or over, the maximum diameter.
Under 2mm is too little. For safety and balance, if you find that any one brake shoe is worn below the 2mm mark then it’s definitely time to fit a complete new axle set.
Backplate inspection. You will find that some drum brake systems feature an inspection hole in the backplate. This is useful, because it enables you to see whether the brake linings are worn without wasting time removing the brake drum.
