Description

Overview

BPW Brake 95 return spring 275mm is a brake shoe hardware component designed to pull the shoes back cleanly after each brake application. It helps reduce drag, heat build-up, and uneven lining wear when the brake releases. It suits BPW New Generation and Lightweight axles that use the Brake 95 setup, so it is a practical service item during brake inspections.

Features

BPW Brake 95 return spring 275mm supports consistent brake shoe return to help maintain smooth braking behaviour. It matches common Brake 95 service requirements where return hardware gets tired over time, and replacing worn springs can improve release consistency and reduce nuisance rubbing. Fit it only when the correct hardware layout is followed.

• Suits BPW New Generation and Lightweight axles with Brake 95
• Supports reliable brake shoe return after braking
• 275mm overall length for the stated application
• 34mm diameter for the stated application

Compatibility and Fitment

This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. 0539758030, IT3155, WT3476

Always compare the existing spring’s length, end shape, and mounting points against the brake hardware on the axle. Also inspect the anchor points and retainers for wear because worn hardware can reduce spring effectiveness even if the spring is new.

Compliance and Safety

Before installation, isolate the trailer, chock wheels, and follow your workshop’s safe lift procedure. Wear eye protection and gloves because springs can release stored energy during removal. Replace any deformed, corroded, or heat-affected brake hardware rather than reusing it, then verify free brake release and correct shoe seating after assembly.

Trailer Applications

BPW Brake 95 return spring 275mm suits heavy vehicle trailer foundation brake setups that use BPW Brake 95 on BPW New Generation and Lightweight axle families. It fits common on-road freight trailers where consistent brake release matters for heat control and lining life, and it also suits service work during relines or periodic inspections.
