Review on Dorman HW5693 Disc Brake Hardware by Kevin Swier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Boots can be too tight

Completely simplifies the replacement of the Dodge rear pad. (An alternative is to remove rust from the original rails). There's a little trick to getting them in place, but by the fourth bar you should be able to figure it out. Apparently the size control on rubber boots is "not good, mi amigo". If you find that the slide pins do not install easily, simply put the old shoes back in or the caliper will not float properly. Luckily the original MOPARs are made from an excellent quality material (silicone rubber?) and even my 18 year old didn't get ripped or cut and stayed soft. So in my opinion it would be a five star product if it wasn't for the shoe size. I only took off one star for this because I found that some replaceable rubber/silicone cover parts didn't fit nearly as well as the originals, a very common problem.

Pros
  • Drum Kits
Cons
  • The list will be long.
