Installation Guide

Replacing the rear drum brake shoes with the ABS 8938 Brakeshoe Set is a straightforward process that can be completed in under an hour. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and place wheel chocks behind the front wheels.
2. Remove the Wheel: Use a lug wrench or impact gun to loosen the rear wheel nuts. Lift the vehicle with a jack and support it with jack stands before removing the wheel entirely.
3. Access the Drum: Remove any dust covers or protective plates that shield the drum brake assembly.
4. Detach Old Shoes: Release the retaining pins or clips holding the old shoes in place. Carefully slide the shoes out of the drum, noting their orientation for correct reinstallation.
5. Install New Shoes: Position the new ABS 8938 Brakeshoe Set into the drum, aligning the springs and pins exactly as they were on the original assembly. Ensure that the shoes sit flush against the drum wall.
6. Reassemble: Reinstall any dust covers or protective plates. Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
7. Wheel and Brake Check: Replace the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts again. Perform a brake pedal test to confirm proper operation before driving.
