Hey, so I was working on this job today and had to do what you explained, expand the star expander until I couldn’t move the rotors by hand, in order to get the parking cable to engage enough. I have a concern though. I test drove the car for a few miles afterwards and found that since the parking shoes are dragging a bit from expanding the adjusters so much, the hub is getting quite hot, radiating through the rotor and even to the wheel! Is there a break-in period with these new parking shoes? I’m afraid the extra heat is going to start warping rotors and hurting the wheel bearings.
I had the same thing happened and it stopped after about 30-40 miles, it does get pretty hot but I haven’t noticed any issues you should be okay. Really, it is a poor design that they made them like this and I never even use them!!!!
Thank you for explaining the torpedo looking thing. Had absolutely no clue how to even approach it haha
Glad it helped! Such a weird design.
This is exactly what we were looking for, Thank You 😊
You're welcome 😊
