Update:

Had my shoes relined at Herbert Heitman in Houston (713-675-9001) at a drive out cost of $45. They are a very large shop servicing petrochem plants so my little tiny ebrake shoes met their minimuim charge. I had to be a real man putting those on the counter LOL!!!

Tips for installation YOU MUST HAVE SPF SERVICE BULLETIN to install and adjust. No-way you can figure out on your own. I checked mine new shoes for flatness on glass and they were flat but excellent suggestion. One tip is you do not tighten the brake shoes all the way with the allen head screw. There is a spring which maintains tightness and you use loctite on the screw. This allows complete contact with rotor while the screw ensures no slippage between pad and disc holder.

Thank the lord I have a 4 post lift where I can stand under the car. Results met expectations. They will hold the car on my sloped driveway which is what I needed. The ebrake handle is almost verticle before they engage as specified in the TSB.

Only issue left is the smith oil temp gauge and it is about complete....
