Wagner Z845 Parking Brake Shoe Set, Rear

Produit de bonne qualite

These fit perfectly and hold the car very well. You WILL need a special tool to install them. It is Hyundai's fault that shoes are very, very difficult to install on the 2007 Elantra. All drum shoes have retaining springs. Unfortunately, the hub hides half the spring and you cannot use a normal tool. You NEED a tool that gets beneath the hub to press down on the spring. Lisle 47400 Brake Spring Washer Tool Model: 47400 Car/Vehicle Accessories/Parts There are also tools shaped like a two-prong fork, and a Snap-On version that can sneak behind there but I cannot find them. I modified a 12mm combination wrench. The 12-point ring was wrapped with duct tape to provide friction, I could press down, reach inside with a needel nose, and the duct tape provided enough friction to turn the spring. If after replacing the shoes you still cannot pull up on the parking lever hard enough to hold the car, you probably need new parking brake cables.

These work just as well as the factory pads. Haven't noticed any difference in braking performance.

The packaging allowed brake shoes to rattle around and the metal to chip the pad material. Wagner is a good product brand. These and other parking brake shoes including rotors and pads are cheap for a 2009 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6. Not sure why quality has to be cheap and inexpensive when it comes to your safety. Maybe has to do with Hyundai setting the standard. However, many other parts on this Sonata is unbelievably costly since no Aftermarket parts. Doing the brakes is very affordable so change the rotor brake pads every year and rotors every 3 years. The brake dust covers behind the rotors and parking break assembly require constant preventative maintenance as if they rust out, replacing dust covers is a PITA.

These don't fit a 2005 Hyundai Tucson even though they say they should. They are missing the piece that connects to the parking brake cable. Pretty useless without that. I had to go to a local autoparts store to buy some Duralast shoes to fit my Tucson. I returned the Wagners to Amazon.
