bjornebraten Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I am going to repair all brakes on my pick up. I opened the front brake drum and measured that the brake shoes was 2 1/2 . I have not opened rear drum yet because i have to move the car. Is also the rear brake shoes 2 1/2 ? Thankful for answers. Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Moses Ludel Posted February 23, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thomas, if your LST shows the same ticket number for front and rear brakes, and if your front brakes are 2-1/2" width, the rear brakes should also be 2-1/2" width. There are also 3" listed, but that is 3" both front and rear. If you can take a rear drum off safely (on axle stands), I would confirm the rear brake shoe width before ordering new shoes. I looked at Rock Auto, they have a surprisingly good supply of '73 I-H 1210 brake shoe sets, and the majority of 2-1/2" front brakes have 2-1/2" rear brakes.
