Good shoes but I needed a set of brakes after the mark.

I got these boots for my 2008 Chevy HHR, they are good but the original boots have a round hole for the spring clip, these have a half round hole and the factory spring clip doesn't snap in there. I went to the O'Reilly auto parts store and saw that all the shoes after sale had the same semi-circular hole. I bought an aftermarket brake spring kit ($9.99) and the spring clamp it came with worked with these brakes. Then they entered with no problem.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

These shoes did not fit properly without modification. After installing on a 2008 Cobalt, the drums would not turn on.

Quality Control Issue

ACDelco 14795B should fit a 2008 Chevy Cobalt with a 9.06 drum. The shoes I received didn't fit, the 9.085 twist drum didn't fit the shoes on the lowest setting. You can sand about 1/32nd of the footprint, but you will most likely still have problems because the pad radius is too large for the drum, causing the pad contact point to be on the outside edges of the pad rather than the center. resulting in shoes wiggling with excessive pulling and squeaking. This problem is not unique to ACDELCO…

  • Best in Niche

Attention buyers - no direct replacement!

Like many reviewers, I have had a bad experience with these ACDelco 14795B drum brake pads. They will not fit my 2007 Chevrolet HHR LT 2.4L engine, although the Revain, o'Reilly, Rock Auto and AC Delco websites say they are the correct pads. Like others, I was unable to install a new drum over these pads. After removing all possible sources of interference and still having no success, I compared the sizes by carefully matching the metal backing plate on the ACDelco pads to my old original OEM…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties
