Bosch E-brake shoes
Hi everyone
Has anyone ever tried these brake shoes from Bosch?
https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-BS741-Blue-Parking-Brake/dp/B00MY5Y550/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/bosch,BS741,parking+brake+shoe,10177
One review says they don't fit, the others say they do.
With shipping and import costs (Belgian here) they 1/3 of the price versus the ACDelco OEM.

Honestly I have no experience with the bosch brake pads in question but looking at the reviews it seems that most everyone else if fine with them and one single person has decided that they are the worst thing ever.
The only issue I've ever heard anyone complain about were the stainless pads not fitting correctly and these are NOT the stainless ones that had problems.
I'd guess that the one reviewer screwed up the install (maybe left a lip on the hub and hammered it into place) and is blaming the product which seems normal these days
But again, just interpreting the data...

I don't remember the brand, but I had to grind a 45 degree angle x 1/4" long on each end of the fiber pads to keep them from grapping the inner surface of the brake drums. I will "seat" them once the car is off the jack stands.
