Brake Shoes/ Pads
Brake shoes are found in every vehicle and play an important role. They are mounted inside the brake drums and press on them. The name was inspired by the shape of the brake pads, which are round and shoe-shaped. There are different kinds of brakes and braking systems. Some of the most well-known manufacturers of brake shoes are TRW, VALEO, BREMBO, BOSCH, JURID, METZGER, and LPR.
The Difference between brake shoes and brake pads
This is also the reason there are different brake pads to choose from, which differ in their quality and shape. They have to meet important requirements; brake shoes are subject to ever-increasing stress and have to withstand it. Prices may vary depending on the type and manufacturer; this is due to the brake shoes’ durability and performance. There is a difference between brake pads and brake shoes. Brake pads are used with brake discs, while brake shoes are used in brake drum systems.
Description of brake shoes and brake pads
In some vehicles two braking options are combined. Brake drums, together with the tires, are responsible for braking. In principle, brake shoes are very simple because they consist of a slightly arched material carrier with a brake pad that is glued on or riveted onto it. Brake shoes suffer from high wear. They differ in thickness, width and diameter. Brake dust often accumulates inside brake drums, impairing their function. In the past, brake shoes were made of asbestos. Nowadays they are made from various types of rubber which are much better for your health.
Replacing brake shoes: instructions
To fix a defect in the brake shoe, the car must first be jacked up as high as possible and be secured so it doesn’t roll away. This can be very easily done in a do-it-yourself workshop. The tyres are then dismantled so that the brake system is easily accessible. As soon as all parts are removed, new brake shoes and discs can be fitted. After everything is done, the brake is reassembled. It is very important that the brake pedal is pressed several times before the first drive after replacing the brake shoes.
