Parking Brake Shoe Arrangement





^ The adjuster mechanism enables manual adjustment of the brake shoes.
^ Retaining pins keep the shoes in contact with the dust shield.
^ The brake shoes locate into the expander lever and the adjuster mechanism.
^ Return springs retract the brake shoes when the parking brake is released.
^ The expander lever mechanism moves the brake shoes outwards, in contact with the brake drum when the parking brake is applied.
