These components are typically replaced whenever the brake shoes are replaced. Their lifespan is tied to the brake shoe life and is dependent on driving conditions and brake system health.

Troubleshooting

Kit components do not seem to fit

Double-check the compatibility of the BFK943 kit against your specific vehicle's make, model, year, engine, and brake system type. Ensure you are attempting to fit it on the correct axle (front).

Brake shoes are not retracting properly after installation

Verify that all springs and clips from the fitting kit have been installed in the correct orientation and tension as per the vehicle's service manual. Ensure no components are binding or obstructing movement.

Brake noise persists after brake shoe replacement

While the fitting kit ensures proper assembly, other brake components like the brake drum/rotor or caliper might be the source of noise. Consult a mechanic to inspect the entire braking system.
