What does a Brake shoe do?

If your car has brake drums (usually older cars have drums at the rear), it will have brake shoes which are situated inside the drum. The brake shoes will press against the inside of the drums when braking, causing friction and eventually slowing the car down.

How do you know there is something wrong with a Brake Shoe?

When the hand brake does not work properly.
When there is a squeaking noise coming from a corner of the car (provided that wheel has a drum brake).
When the car pulls to the right or left under braking.
When the car becomes unstable under braking.
When the 'brake warning' light is on.

When should you consider replacing a Brake Shoe?

Over time, the brake shoes can wear out due to the friction that it has to endure each time you brake. Brake shoes can wear to such an extent that the rivets holding the friction plate to the rest of the shoe can get exposed. Each time you brake in this scenario the rivets can potentially score the contact surface inside the drum. Thus damaging the brake drum as well, which in that case would have to be replaced too to ensure effective braking.

Servicing the brake shoes is therefore key to ensure a long lifespan for the brakes. Always service the brakes as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer. In cases that the brake shoes are damaged or have worn out prematurely it is important you have the shoes (and the brake drums) inspected and, if necessary, replaced as soon as possible.

What happens during a Brake Shoe replacement?

Mechanic will inspect the brakes and establish if there is any issues with one or several of the brake calipers.
Mechanic will establish if the brake shoe's thickness is within the required tolerances.
If necessary, the mechanic will replace the brake shoes.
Mechanic will advise if other parts of the brake system need replacing too.
Mechanic will test drive the car and inspect the brake system to ensure it is in perfect working order.
Mechanic will make adjustments if necessary.
