- It's a valuable tool for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who perform their own brake service.
- This type of tool is specifically designed for the purpose of installing and removing the retaining springs that hold the brake shoes in place on drum brakes, as well as for working with the springs associated with the parking brake mechanism.
- CA's Parking Brake Shoe & Hardware Installation Tool has a metal shaft and a comfortable handle, designed for manual use requiring a good grip and possibly some force.
- CA's specific tip design can be used to hook onto springs or retainers, allowing the user to stretch, compress, or maneuver the spring over the post or into the brake assembly. The angled tip on one end could be especially useful in getting into tight spaces and applying the necessary force to secure the springs or retainers.
- CA's Parking Brake Shoe & Hardware Installation Tool is compatible with a wide range of vehicles that utilize a drum/shoe design for their parking brake mechanisms.
