It features a forward self-adjusting (Nev-R-Adjust®) design that automatically calibrates braking force during normal use, eliminating manual adjustments. The assembly uses a 12-1/4" x 3-3/8" shoe and mounts with a 7-bolt pattern. It is typically replaced when brake shoes are worn, magnets fail, or backing plates become damaged.
