Emergency brake shoe maintenance is often neglected because the rear brake disc / rotor has to be removed to inspect and repair them. If the car has ever been driven a long distance with the emergency brake on, expect problems. The clips can break causing weird grinding and scraping noises in the rear brakes. They easily fall out of adjustment due to wear and need to be checked periodically. This kit combines both the brake shoes and springs with Kent's special tool easy install kit.
