Review on 🚗 Bosch BS945 Blue Drum Brake Shoe Set - Scion iQ 2013, xD 2008-2014; Toyota Corolla 2009-2017, Prius C 2012-2017 - REAR by Jermaine Munajj

These brake pads didn't work on my 2009 Toyota Corolla until I sanded them down. I found out at the parts store that there are 2 thickness options for corollas. This particular part is # too thick for a 2009 Corolla. I had to do a lot of grinding to get the drums working and stop the heavy resistance. These brakes also come with an emergency brake lever already attached. That's both good and bad. You don't have to remove the other lever from the old pads BUT the lever on the new pads is attached with a permanent rivet so trying to remove it to use on the next pads would be a waste of time. Be safe and keep your old lever. Most of them are removed with a simple compressible C-clip. Little did I know the lever on these shoes is held in place by a permanent rivet. I wouldn't have bought them if I had known that. Now I removed the old levers from the pads along with the compressible clip C and saved them for next time. You just have to remember where I keep them. Or buy the same shoes next time. Drum brakes really suck! I hope this helps you decide which path to take. Much luck.
