⚠️ CARPARTS.COM'S INFOS
- Once the operation is completed, you'll need pump slowly on the brake pedal a few times until feeling a strong resistance from the pedal. The aim being to bring the brake pads closer to one other.

- Before you change the parking brake shoes, we recommend watching our video : “How to replace the Rear Brakes 2009-2018 Dodge RAM 1500”. We show you how to remove the caliper, pads, and discs if you decide to change them too, as we did in the video.

- Drive smoothly and avoid sudden braking for the first 30 miles or so, to avoid glazing the new pads.
What do we mean by "glazing new brake pads"? Brake pads are made of a material that needs to be run-in when new. If this procedure is not done properly, when braking too hard, the material overheats and hardens. Consequently, the brakes become less effective.

- Tighten the adjustment mechanism until there is a slight friction between the brake shoes and the disc, which means that the brake shoes are perfectly spaced for your hand brake to work properly.
