Anyone Replace Parking Brake Shoe?
After 9 years and nearly 80k I think my rear shoes need to be replaced. Tried adjusting the ebrake last year but still doesn't bite unless I really pull the lever to very last 'click'
Just wondering how long others waited till replacing their rear shoes. |

Did you pull the rotor to check shoes?
Sometimes it's the cable that gets stretched.

Not yet. That's first thing I was going to do when I throw the track pads back on. But was wondering if 80k was right around time one should have to service the shoes.

Unless you use your e-brake handle for while driving, I doubt the shoes are warn out. The cable probably needs adjusting. If that doesn't work, as Tgr8r mentioned, pull the rotor and check the condition of the shoes.

I replaced mine when I replaced my rotors at just under 100k miles.
They were working OK at the time. It was one of those "as long as I'm in there, I'm replacing everything" jobs.

I agree, but what I think the real issue is is rust. The integrated drum is probably rusty. As a maintenance item, it's best to actually drive a few thousand feet with the parking brake engaged to keep the drum and shoes rust free.
