Brakes and Drum part numbers for Lxi

[cvaughn]

If you ever wonder how long brakes will last on your Wanderlodge, I may be able to help. I purchased my coach in Nov. 2004. Milage 90,000.
Last spring when I returned from Flordia about 170,000 miles, I noticed the parking brake would no longer hold on slopes>4%. After checking rear shoes, about 50% remaining, decided to change parking brake cans as springs do wear out over time and the pancake had never been changed. Changed to 30/30 Parking brake with 2.5" stroke. I measured the stroke on the old ones to may sure someone had not installed the newer 3" stroke models. Did not help the problem at all. Next I changed shoes. I confirmed shoe part numbers with David. The old shoes and drums still looked OK. The drums had some heat checks but I have seen much worse. New shoes still did not solve the problem. New drums solved the problem. The old drums were not scored or grooved where the shoe contacted. They were not cracked. I replaced front shoes also. They were worn out. I don't think the PO ever did any brake work on the coach. So I hope this may help you.
