Troubleshooting

Washer does not fit the retaining pin.

Verify that the brake system is indeed a Girling type and that the pin diameter matches the 6 mm hole width of the washer. If the pin is significantly larger, this washer is not compatible.

Brake shoe is loose or rattles.

Ensure the washer and retaining clip are correctly installed and provide adequate tension to hold the brake shoe firmly against the backing plate. Check that all associated springs are properly seated.

Missing washers during a job.

Organize your parts before starting. If a washer is lost, use another from the pack. For future jobs, consider keeping the remaining washers in a labeled container.

Installation: Typically, these washers are placed on the brake shoe retaining pin, followed by the brake shoe, and then secured with a brake shoe retaining clip. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for the correct installation procedure.

Care:

Store these washers in a clean, dry place to prevent corrosion. A small parts organizer or the original packaging can help prevent loss. Regularly inspect brake components during maintenance; while these washers are generally robust, checking for excessive wear or damage is good practice.
