What parts are included in this brake hardware kit?

This kit typically includes all the necessary springs, clips, and levers required to properly install rear drum brake shoes. It's designed to replace the worn-out or missing original hardware for a complete axle job.

Why is it important to replace brake hardware?

Brake hardware, like springs and clips, can become weak or corroded over time. Replacing them ensures your brake shoes are held correctly, apply pressure evenly, and retract properly, which is crucial for safe and effective braking.

Does this kit come with new brake shoes or drums?

No, this is a brake hardware kit only. It includes the small metal components like springs and clips needed for installation. You will need to purchase brake shoes and potentially drums separately if they are not being reused.
