Where to find parking brake parts.

[madsam]

I adjusted my parking brake last weekend, and I can see that the b rake shoes, or whatever they are called are almost warn out which makes them not work as well. I might not need them now, but some day soon. Is there a place to get new parking brake parts?

od iron has some of them. all the other suppliers have the rest of it.

I just send mine out and have them relined. way cheaper.

The parking brake shouldn't see any wear at all as it isn't supposed to stop a moving vehicle. Can you not adjust the brakes?

DaveP - Where do you have them relined?

Blood_of_Tyrants - It looks like this brake was used to stop it at one time, or just forgotten to and left on for a while. They look baked. I have tightened it all the way and it holds on a flat. On an incline, it won't hold the 36k lbs. The outer shoe is contacting, but the inner one is not and I can't adjust it more.

My 5 ton Dump is the same way, it was like that when I got it. I think it was driven with the brake on myself since the pads are worn so bad. If it ever stops raining here I want to get into repairing it, either try to get it relined or buy new shoes.
