What is the Emergency/Parking Brake Shoe?

The parking brake shoe is a nifty component that keeps your car in a stable position when the emergency or parking brake is used. This component is often found in modern cars with rear disc brakes or rotors. Cars made before 1999 may not have the parking brake shoe, but instead, use the brake shoes inside the rear drums for the same purpose.

Note:

– Only cars with rear rotors have parking brake shoes.
– An expert mechanic will determine whether a replacement is necessary based on the thickness of the brake shoe
– If only debris is present on the parking brake shoe, a simple cleaning may be all that’s needed.

Emergency/Parking Brake Shoe Replacement: Getting Started

Remove rear rotors and examine parking brake shoes
New ones should be installed if thickness falls below 30%.
Clean as may be required
Ensure hand brake operates properly

Why Emergency/Parking Brake Shoe Service Is Important For Your Car

In optimal operation, the parking brake shoes ensure that your car stays in position and prevents it from rolling when the parking brake is engaged. However, they may also wear after extended periods of use, and thus become less effective in creating enough pressure on the rotors to prevent car movement. This leaves your car a safety hazard to passersby and buildings.

Consider Replacing The Emergency / Parking Brake Shoe When:

– It appears the parking brake fails to release
– The car does not hold after putting the parking brake
– Parking brake fails to work completely

Our Recommendation:

It is advised to inspect the parking brake shoes when carrying out brake pad or rotor replacement activities. The parking brake shoes should be cleaned and adjusted if they don’t appear damaged. However, if the parking brake lever feels awkward, or applying the parking brakes does not stop the car from rolling, having an expert mechanic assess the braking system is your best next step.

Great Service Great prices. I got a quote from 4 different mechanic shop and these guys had the best price. I was a little skeptical because I have never used mobile mechanic service before, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a go. The mechanic they sent was very knowledgeable and give me tips on how to better maintain my vehicle. Will definitely being using them forever

Love this service. Fast and Simple. My car wasn't starting and I had called Uchanics to figure out the reason why. The mechanic came to do a diagnostic and found out that it was the car starter. After he went to pick up the part and fixed it the same day. Great service and very nice people!

They are very responsive and helpful. I sent in a request at 2PM today for a car inspection service within 5 hrs - they were very accommodating and were able to schedule a mechanic for me. Raymond arrived at my location on time and he was very friendly and thorough. He walked me through everything that he checked step by step and even taught me how to check some parts myself. They sent in a complete report to me within 2 hours and called to make sure everything went well after. Great and professional services, also very convenient! would definitely recommend

Really great concept and great service - my mechanic was friendly, knowledgeable, and very experienced. I was especially impressed with the savings that were passed on from not having the overhead of a garage. Highly recommend.

I got a PPI inspection for a car I wanted to purchase. Book and inspection was done in a coordinated way. Billing was comfortable. Report was provided same day, Jamal called me and give me advise and further information on the condition of the car. Sound and balanced advice. They work for you. If you are buying a car, get it inspected by them. I would recommend.

This is truly an excellent service and very cost-effective. I got a PPI inspection done and got a detailed report that noted even minor issues, a useful phone call from the team to help understand what the report meant and some additional tips too! The entire process was hassle-free and completed as scheduled.

These guys are pro. I found them through google and wanted a second opinion on a car from a private seller that I was buying. I literally have 0 knowledge about mechanic so having someone examining the car and giving me their opinion as key. Im glad to say that the examination was so through that even my seller was impressed by uchanics. 100% recommended, they even called me and gave me further advice regarding pricing and negotiations to bring the price to a fair deal
