As a manufacturer of Truck Brake Shoes, we've summarized critical installation steps based on production and after-sales experience-vital for maintaining braking performance and driving safety, as improper installation risks unreliable stopping.
Pre-installation cleaning & inspection: Remove oil, rust, and dust from brake drums/discs (debris reduces braking efficiency). Check the Truck Brake Shoes' friction surface; replace if cracked or chipped (damages cause uneven braking, raising accident risks).
Align installation position: Follow marks on the Truck Brake Shoes. Ensure return springs and locating pins fit perfectly-never force or tap, as this deforms shoes or damages parts (misalignment may cause seizing or uneven wear).
Adjust brake clearance: Set the gap between Truck Brake Shoes and drum to 0.2-0.5mm. Too large delays braking; too small causes constant contact, accelerating wear and increasing fuel use.
Post-installation testing: Drive slowly, press brakes lightly. Check for noises (scraping/squealing) or soft feel-only proceed if braking is consistent.
