Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this kit include parts for both rear wheels?

The BS920K1 is typically sold as a set for a specific axle, but always check the packaging content to confirm if it covers both left and right sides.

Can I install these myself?

If you have experience with drum brake hardware and hydraulic systems, you can, but professional installation is recommended due to the safety-critical nature of brakes.

What is the importance of the 21 mm piston diameter?

This matches the hydraulic displacement of the system, ensuring the brake pedal feel remains consistent with your vehicle's factory specifications.

Do I need to grease the contact points?

Yes, apply a small amount of high-temperature brake grease to the contact points where the shoes meet the backplate, being very careful not to get any on the friction surface.

How do I know if my drum is 254 mm?

You can measure the inner diameter of your existing brake drum using a brake drum gauge or a large vernier caliper.

Troubleshooting

Brake pedal feels spongy after installation

Air is likely trapped in the system. Perform a complete brake system bleed according to the manufacturer's manual.

Dragging sound coming from rear wheels

Check that the automatic adjuster is not over-tightening. Ensure all return springs are properly hooked and seated.

Uneven braking performance

Verify that the brake drums are not worn past their service limit and that the shoes are properly centered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or an experienced hobbyist familiar with drum brake systems. Always use the included mounting manual to ensure springs and clips are seated correctly.

Compatibility Requirements:

  • Verify the wheel cylinder piston diameter matches the 21 mm specification.

Care Instructions:

  • Avoid using high-pressure air to clean brake dust; use a dedicated brake cleaner.
  • Inspect the drum surfaces for scoring or deep grooves during installation; machine or replace drums if damaged.
