I heard a clunk today and pulled the rear drum off..... OOPS.

front pads are still good.... replaced them all around at the same time... kinda odd...

thankfully the drum only has a small groove in it.... the rest looks good.

Oh well... sh*t happens...

off to NAPA

 

That's why I don't get bonded brake shoes , the only ones I like to run are the riveted so I don't have problem .you can try running that drum and see if it has any problems . just to save money .

 

OK, yeah that makes sense... I don't ever remember this happening before.... with rivet shoes...

there was still "some" meat left.... they musta got warm and de-bonded...

oh yeah, Ima use that drum for sure. it's flat elsewhere....

 

That bond shouldn't have come loose. Poor quality shoes, I guess.

 

They were NAPA brand... perhaps they were the economy grade... can't remember...
this time I will be sure they have rivets.

 

You've got to watch riveted shoes closely. They will cut grooves in the drums sooner than you think. Been there, done it.

 

Where are you guys finding RIVETED brake shoes?


I stopped at NAPA today and they told me they only have bonded....

I didn't leave with anything cuz I wasn't sure if I had 9" OR 10" drums... (turns out they are 9" )

I really don't want to order online...... maybe I'm stuck with bonded again....
