Raybestos Element3 Automotive Replacement Rear Parking Brake Shoes for Selected Chevrolet (Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500), GMC (Sierra 1500, Yukon) (781PG)

I was ordering the rear rotors & pads for my 2001 Chevy Tahoe and realized. "Hey, my parking brake hasn't worked in years. After pulling the rotors I found that my 18 yr old parking brake shoes were completely deteriorated. No brainer, so I ordered these. Exact fit, came with the clip and screw and other kinds for applications. It was a matter of popping the old shoe with a large flat screwdriver and a hammer once to get them off the clip and star adjuster. Then you have to play around to find the proper way to get them off over the axle. Take out the old screw and clip. Put the new screw and clip on. Play around again getting the new one over the axle. Line it up on the clip and place the ends on the star wheel. After that it's a matter of adjusting the star wheel. Adjust in or out until you get the proper amount of resistance with the rotor on. Easy peezy! Now my parking brake works like a champ. If you're unsure how to do this, do a YouTube search. There are plenty of videos on this process, it's not all that hard. Living on a hill, having this parking brake work is now taking an incredible strain off my transmission while it's parked. NOTE: This is one of the very few parts that is actually cheaper at AutoZone $19.99 than Amazon. The prices also fluctuate. I bought this one for $32.78 then bought another for my other truck a few days later and realized that one was $34.32 and I'm not sure why? Same exact part from same exact ad just a few days apart? Nonetheless, still giving it 5 stars because it was a quality product, came with everything I needed and was delivered to my door lightning fast. So I spent 27.91 more for the two vs. AutoZone. These are name brand and I didn't have to leave the house. AutoZone part wasn't Raybestos, it was their brand. With what I have saved getting quality car parts off of Amazon, I'm not going to complain or reduce my rating over $27.91. The price fluctuation does leave me curious though?

Good brake pads overall, I have a 2011 suburban and it was pretty easy to install. Most drum brakes are such a pain, but this type whoever designed was really smart. You could definitely do these by yourself if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. I haven’t had any squeaking out of them. You just have to adjust the break before putting everything back together. I made that mistake and had to tear it apart twice because after putting the parking brake, the vehicle would still roll. But I will definitely be buying them again when the time comes.

Product just as described. Fit the 2004 Silverado perfectly. Great price, fast shipping.

Worked well for 2005 Yukon XL denali.

Excellent fit and quality! Buy without reservation if you are rebuilding your parking brakes. I installed a kit on my 2002 GMC 1500. I bought the truck new and could always drive off with the parking brake set and of course wore them out. These shoes are much better. When I set the brakes now the the truck will not move until the brake is released. I was shocked at how much better the parking brake held. Raybestos parking brakes are better than the originals by a wide margin. I also replaced the rear brake rotors, because of the wear at the parking brake surface. I got the rotors through Amazon at a price better than I could find anywhere else and free shipping!

The part was correct and fits properly

Works good as oem

Arrived on time, well packaged. As prior reviews say, you will need to file the ends down because with the adjuster all the way in the brake pads are a bit too open. This causes the drum to fit tightly. It is a good buy at the right price.

muy buen kit, bastante completo, lo único por lo que no le doy 5 estrellas es por que las bandas vinieron un poco mas cerradas y me costo demasiado para que pasaran el hub trasero, con un poco de forcejeo e ingenio logre instalarlas pero estuve apunto de devolverás solo por que no las lograba pasar del hub

fit perfect but not easy to install ... this is GM fault not Raybestos fault They did the job for sure ...

Good product, works perfectly like the original GM parts

Solo como observación los herrajes que se observan en la foto no me llegaron completos

Fit great, along with all the other hardware I purchased to do do a great job.
