Brake Shoe Assembly, 16.5 x 8.63 with Return
SAF-Holland

The Brake Shoe Assembly is a critical wear component in drum brake systems, featuring friction material sized at 16.5 x 8.63 inches with integrated return features. The assembly ensures controlled contact with the drum surface, delivering reliable stopping power while distributing braking wear across the shoe to maximize service life. With a properly prepped drum and correct clearance, this assembly produces consistent fade resistance under repeated braking, which is essential for heavy trucks that experience frequent stop-and-go conditions or heavy-duty highway descents. Installation requires precise shoe alignment and snug fit against the backing plate. Return hardware helps maintain self-adjusting capability where applicable, reducing manual adjustment frequency. Regular inspection for glazing, cracks in the friction material, or detached return springs will maintain braking efficiency and prevent compromised safety. Source One Parts Center stocks this brake shoe assembly as part of a SAF-Holland compatible portfolio.
