RAMATA Brake Shoe Adjusting Gauge for Drum Brakes — Metal 11.5in Durable Resetting Tool, Reusable

If you're servicing older drum-style brakes or rear brakes without an adjuster access window, this heavy-duty RAMATA gauge helps position the shoes to the correct setting before you reinstall the drum. Built for cars and trucks, the tool is reusable, washable, and designed to speed up a job that otherwise relies on trial-and-error adjustments.

How does this tool simplify drum brake adjustments?

The gauge holds and spaces the brake shoes at the proper distance so you can reinstall the drum and fine-tune the fit with minimal repeated disassembly. That reduces time spent on repeated fitting attempts and keeps you from over-tightening while guessing.

• Centers and spaces shoes consistently to the correct contact point
• Eliminates repeated drum removal for trial adjustments
• Saves time on older systems lacking an adjuster access window
• Reusable metal construction for multiple jobs

What vehicles and brake types is it compatible with?
