Brake Shoes

Without pulling the wheels yet, I need to put new brake shoes on the rear of my '85 Blazer, 4x4. Advance shows 2 sizes (11"x2" and 11-5/32x2-3/4). Anyone know which one I need...is it based on what rear I have? Thanks for the help.

Lightbulb Re: Brake Shoes

I think your gonna have to take a wheel off and take a measurement that's the only way to know for shure whats on there.

And you know if you guess at it your gonna end up with the other one thats the wrong size

Re: Brake Shoes

It will definitely depend on the hubs that you have on the axle. Take the six bolts loose and pull the brake drum and measure. It is usually easy to do, or go to the parts house and pick up both and return the ones you don't use.

Just get both, and take the one back that doesn't fit.
