How to Inspect and Adjust Brake shoe on Chevrolet Blazer,S10,GMC Jimmy and Sonoma?

To begin, loosen the wheel lug nuts and raise the rear of the vehicle, securely supporting it on jackstands. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Remove the rear wheels and then the brake drum. If the drum is stuck due to corrosion, apply penetrating oil and tap around the studs and flange to break it loose. If the drum is locked onto the shoes, use a screwdriver to push the actuator lever off the star adjuster and back off the adjuster wheel. Clean the brake assembly with brake system cleaner. Clean and inspect the brake drum for any damage or wear. Repeat these steps for the other rear brake assembly. Install the brake drums and adjust the shoes so they slightly drag on the drums. Install the rear wheels, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts. Check the brake pedal position and adjust further if necessary. Finally, test the brakes for proper operation before driving in traffic.

Chevrolet S10 Brake Shoe

The Brake Shoe found in Chevrolet S10 vehicles are part of the drum brake system to produce a friction force, hence leading to a slowing down of the car. These shoes are attached to a backing plate and operated by hydraulic wheel cylinders; the shoes bear on the brake drum when the brake is applied. The self adjusting feature that is incorporated in these drum brakes reduce lining wear and also adjust for the correct shoe-to-drum clearance. Two types of brake shoes are available, namely the non-servo and the duo-servo brakes and due to the self energizing characteristic of the brake shoes, the duo-servo brakes are more effective and powerful brakes. Because the friction linings, will invariably deteriorate over time, they should be visually checked frequently to prevent the operation of the brake by bad linings and to notice when they are to be contaminated. Altogether, the front brake shoes of Chevrolet S10 offer excellent limit of brake performance and ensure easier configuration and functioning of parking brakes.

Each OEM Chevrolet S10 Brake Shoe we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
