Parking Brake Shoe: Description and Operation

Parking Brake Assembly For Rear Disc Brake:






The parking brakes on vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes consist of a small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the disc brake caliper adapter. The hat (center) section of the rear rotor serves as the braking surface (drum) for the parking brakes. This park brake application uses the same operating cable configuration as the drum brake equipped vehicles, but different cables.
