Description

Overview

SAF-HOLLAND brake return spring 230mm hardware helps pull the brake shoes back to their resting position after each brake application. This helps the drum brake release cleanly and reduce the chance of heat build up from shoe drag. It suits common trailer drum brake setups where dependable shoe retraction matters during repeated stop start work.

Features

SAF-HOLLAND brake return spring 230mm is built for consistent shoe return rather than extra stiffness that can accelerate wear. It also uses a compact coil profile, so it fits within typical drum brake hardware layouts without crowding adjacent components.

• Designed for brake shoe return in drum brake assemblies
• Specified overall length and coil diameter for selection
• Helps maintain even brake release and reduce drag
• Suitable for routine service replacement during brake work

• Confirm correct seating on the shoe and anchor points
• Check free wheel rotation after assembly
