Questions & Answers
It's a one-piece puzzle. On a 2001 GMC Sierra, I installed it.
Yes, it's a set for both wheels, but the ends were a little larger than the originals, so I had to grind them down to fit.
Yes, these are for disc brake systems in the rear. This is the emergency braking system that is separate from the rest of the car. The installation of the two (2) piece shoe is possible without removing the rear axle.
For the rear rotor, these are parking brake shoes.

I'd been hearing noises, clunks, and scrapes for a while, and then at highway speeds, I started hearing something that sounded like A/C Compressor issues. There was no sensation at all on the steering wheel or in the drivetrain. I decided to replace them because I didn't have much pedal left on the parking brake. The pad on one of the original parking brakes had come apart and was jamming under the other pad, scraping bare metal at times. New rotors were installed in their place. One new pad had a lot of material on it, so I used 80 grit sandpaper and a sanding block to get the rotor on. The other shoe fit perfectly and was easy to put on. It appeared to be a lot of work, but there are no noises now, and there is plenty of parking brake. I'd try a different brand next time because it's not precise and appears to be cheap.
This is a direct replacement for the one that came with my truck. There is only one piece, not two as shown in the picture. You'll receive two pairs of shoes, one for each side, as well as the necessary hardware. For fitment, I didn't need to make any changes. Taking the old ones off and replacing them is a difficult task. My park brake peddle had reached the floor prior to installation. It's now firm about halfway through the journey. It is undoubtedly a difficult task, but if I can do it, so can you!.
These LED license plate lights are perfect for you if you live in a well-lit area. In comparison to these, your vehicle's stock lights are subdued. My 2002 Chevy Tahoe's rear deck lid has LED lights that literally light up the entire exterior. I've attached a photo taken at 8 a. m. on this bright morning, and you can still see how bright the LEDs are. Don't get me wrong: I think it's a great idea. They're inexpensive and simple to put together. and that they are effective. I believe it is done far too well. The over-abundance of LEDs can be a problem. the- Even if the top power was reduced by half, the area would still be illuminated more than needed or required by law.
When the axle was re-geared, I had to replace these. They last a long time, but if you have a leaking axle seal or are tearing the axle down to the housing, it's worth replacing these and any other worn or outdated parts. AC Delco parts are always reliable, and I'm set for the foreseeable future!.
One pair was all I needed. I had no idea there was a PAIR-in every box. I require a shipping label in order to return one set. I'm unable to print a return label because I don't have the necessary information. I don't have a phone, so I can't download the shipping return address- Do you just need a printout?.
These were ordered as part of a complete rear brake job on my 2007 Yukon Denali; they weren't the issue, but they kept me in there for a while. One thing to keep in mind is that these fit a wide range of applications, and the included clips (mine only came with the spring steel clips pictured, not the other two pictured above) are not suitable for my needs. The clips on my type of truck have a history of breaking, so I was disappointed that I had to choose between re-installing them or re-installing them. Using old hardware or purchasing a hardware kit locally Overall, it's a straightforward process; they're made of one piece rather than two, so they simply slide into place.
Yes, you are, hopefully, reading the right thing. The screws provided by AC Delco are the cheapest I've seen in a long time, and the first one I tried to replace, which holds the bracket that holds the shoe in place, broke off in the shoe housing. So now I have one shoe side inside the rotor that isn't being held down, doing whatever it is. Because I didn't have a thread tapper, I had to reassemble it. REMOVE THE SCREWS YOU TAKE OUT AND REUSE THEM.
My truck lacked these, and I had no idea there was a difference; all I knew about drum shoes were the main ones. I should return it, but I'm more likely to give it to someone in need.
