Parking Brake Shoes -- Making them fit 200

posted by  someone claiming to be twoforty on  Sat Jul 10 01:54 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Just re-did mine (89, 245) last weekend. Mine do not have the ridgid adjuster. My 84, 245 had them. In either case I've found that I could move and change the positioning of the shoes quite a bit. The ridged adjuster I had to wobble, move, jiggle, etc., untill I was able to replace the rotor. Though, a simple project, I rate it next to heater fan replacement, for aggravation/ frustration.

They also shouldn't take a month to seat in. If adjusted at hand brake correctly, you should have a firm set of parking brakes at 4-6 clicks of hand brake.

My experience.
