I have been trying to find rear handbrake shoes for my Toyota ST 202 1994 Import. It is drum handbrake and disc footbrake. My local supplier cant find them in his book and I am trying to avoid using the main agent . I have been looking at on line sites and for the ST 202 it does not show the shoes. Is it possible that most ST 202 have disc handbrake and mine being an import has a different set up? I can find shoes for several other Celica types.
Regards ken
Most recent Toyotas (including your Celica) with rear disc brakes use the setup you are describing, with a small drum parking (hand) brake.
In theory, the shoes for the parking/hand brake would never have to be replaced because they wouldn't wear just to prevent the car from moving. Although the reality is that people often drive with the parking/hand brake engaged, I suspect that the volume of parts sales is not high enough to entice many aftermarket suppliers to offer them.
I'm with you on the theory here. The pads to the hand brake should last the life of the car, in theory.
The hand brake/parking brake on the OP's car uses shoes, not pads.
I knew that. They should still last the life of the car, in theory.
