Brake Shoe Fitting Kit

What Is a Brake Shoe Fitting Kit?

A brake shoe fitting kit contains the essential springs, clips and hardware required to correctly install and secure brake shoes in a rear drum brake system. At A-Z Motor Factors Halifax, we supply OE-quality fitting kits designed for accurate, reliable shoe alignment and long-lasting braking performance.

Why the Fitting Kit Matters

The springs and clips inside a fitting kit ensure that the brake shoes retract properly, stay aligned inside the drum and operate safely during braking. Using old or worn hardware can cause:

• Uneven shoe wear

• Brake drag

• Weak handbrake performance

• Noise inside the drum

• MOT brake imbalance

Replacing the fitting kit is essential whenever new brake shoes or drums are fitted.

What’s Included in a Brake Shoe Fitting Kit?

Our fitting kits can include:

• Return springs

• Retaining clips

• Spring hold-down pins

• Anti-rattle springs

• Adjuster springs

• Shoe guide clips

Each kit is tailored for your specific vehicle to ensure proper tension and secure installation.

When Should You Replace the Fitting Kit?

Replace your fitting kit when:

• Installing new brake shoes

• Replacing brake drums

• Fitting a new adjuster

• Rear brakes feel noisy or loose

• Springs are corroded or stretched

• Shoes fail to retract properly

New hardware ensures the rear brakes operate smoothly and safely.

Left or Right (L/R) Fitment

Some fitting kits differ on the left-hand and right-hand side depending on:

• Handbrake cable direction

• Adjuster placement
