Hey all,

I had a rear drum shoe hold down pin decide to jettison itself from my vehicle as I was driving recently. With nothing holding the drum brake shoe against the backing plate, it rubs on the drum, especially in reverse, and sounds nasty.

I see RARE'S do HQ-HZ and EJ-EH pin and spring sets. I think these are both different in size to LH/LX. Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers.

Easy enough to make one of your own up using a nail. Have done it before with great sucess :-)

Walk into any normal brake and clutch joint with a sample from the other side and they'll have them on the shelf for frOck all. I've done it dozens of times with my local guy.
