Rear brake shoe drum issue

Hi,

The shoe itself looks different. However, the pic I believe you are referring to is reused. You need to tap it out of the old shoe and then reinstall it in the new one. But the new one doesn't seem to have a location for it. There is usually a U shaped clip that holds it in.

I copied your pic and circled what I believe you are referring to. Check to see if both of the new shoes are the same or if one has a location to reinstall that part. Pic 2 shows what I believe you are referring to as well.

________________________________________

I don't know if you need them, but here are the directions right from Alldata specific to your vehicle for brake shoe replacement. The remaining pictures will correlate with these directions. If you go all the way to pics 15 and 16, you'll see what I am referring to.

Note: These directions are complete and include things you will likely not need.

Hi,

It should come out or the new shoes should have come with a new one to install. I'm looking at the two shoes in your picture and there isn't a location to place that part in the new one. Are you certain you have the right shoes?
