This pack contains 12 brake shoes, which is sufficient for 6 brake drums, typically used on a triple axle trailer.
ECE R90 approval is a European standard indicating that the brake shoes meet or exceed the performance of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts in terms of safety, performance, and durability.
No, these are specifically designed for ALKO style axles and compatible with certain older Ivor Williams hubs. It is crucial to verify the dimensions (230mm x 60mm for a 9-inch drum) and axle type before purchasing.
There isn't a fixed interval, as wear depends on usage. However, regular inspections (e.g., annually or every 10,000 miles) are recommended. Replace them immediately if you notice reduced braking effectiveness, visible wear, or damage.
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace brake shoes on both sides of an axle simultaneously. This ensures balanced braking and prevents the trailer from pulling to one side.
Use a dedicated brake cleaner spray and a clean, lint-free cloth. Ensure the drum is completely dry and free of dust or grease before fitting the new brake shoes.
Verify the dimensions (230mm length, 60mm width) and the drum diameter (9-inch) match your trailer's specifications. Ensure you have the correct ALKO style or compatible hub type. Double-check that you have selected the correct variant for your specific trailer make and model.
Ensure the brake drums were thoroughly cleaned before installation. Check that all springs are correctly fitted and tensioned. Confirm that brake shoes were replaced on both sides of the same axle simultaneously. If wear is uneven, inspect the axle and hub for damage.
Handle components with care to avoid damage. Ensure you are using the correct tools for spring installation. If a component was defective, contact the supplier for a replacement.
This can indicate improper seating or a foreign object. Re-inspect the installation. Ensure the drum is clean and the shoes are making even contact. A slight bedding-in period might be needed, but persistent noise warrants further inspection.
