Drum Shoe Pads
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

An often overlooked area that requires servicing is the backing plate pads that support the brake shoes. The brake shoe shown in the illustration has three tabs. The shoe is pulled against the backing plate by the retaining spring and these tabs bear on three raised pads on the surface of the backing plate. As they move outward and rotate during braking, the tabs on the shoes slide across these pads.

. .

The pads must be well lubricated. If they are not, undesirable friction may occur. If there is friction, the movement of the shoe may score grooves in the pad, grooves that may affect performance over time.

This document is a line-art schematic of a drum brake backing plate, uploaded to the gallery of a 1983 Ford Bronco. The diagram shows the backing plate viewed face-on with the brake shoes and hardware removed or shown only in outline, highlighting the locations of the six raised shoe contact pads around the circumference of the plate. Arrows label each of the six PAD positions (two at the top, one on each side, and two at the bottom), the ANCHOR PIN at the top center of the plate, and the BACKING PLATE itself. The center hub opening and mounting bolt holes are also visible in the drawing, though unlabeled. A reader can learn where the brake shoe contact pads are located on the backing plate, useful information when cleaning, inspecting, and lubricating these pads during drum brake service to prevent shoe binding and brake noise. The document contains no text beyond the callout labels: no part numbers, torque values, year/model applicability, or written instructions are shown. It appears to be one page of a larger set of brake-related reference scans (other files in the album cover ABS, brake lines, and caliper installation).
