Shoe Hold Down Pins

Postby BrockO on Thu Feb 21, 2019 6:58 pm

Gents,

broke a rear brake shoe last week...there locking on after dropping the boat in...

Through the breakage the two shoe hold down pins have gone missing....any chance any one has had to find these before ?

Will ring my local dick wheeler tomorrow, if that fails it will be a trip to the wrecking yard.

2007 ML model - Perth WA

Awesome! Drives an '07 ML, member since 2014 and first post in 2019. Welcome along.

Yeah, just hit up the dealer - they should be almost a consumable.

If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay us to do it?

Brakes are good! Esp down hill. :lol:

Might be worth checking the tension springs that pull the shoes together while you've got the bits apart.

I had a few go on drum brakes on the ole Rocky.
