r37 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 i checked mine today after 50k miles and there was still loads of material left, Their pretty easy to do so long as your calipers arnt like mine and pretty much siezed on. Most people wont change them at all as you only use them when standing still. They wear very very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 In the 7 plus years we've been working on Zeds, I only remember one set that needed attention... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I changed mine whilst swapping over the discs, thinking that newer shoes would improve the handbrake efficiency.... Easy job, but made bugger all difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 If you think about it they really can't wear out they just clamp the rear wheels when still, my local Nissan guy has never replaced any in all his working life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
