Parking brake shoe rebonding

[bisdake]

Just wondering if anyone here got their paking brake shoes rebonded? I took mine off today and measured only about 1mm left. Any issues with paking brake shoes being rebonded?

Re-bonding is no longer cost effective, in most cases it is cheaper to buy new shoes. If you haven't already, double check the specs as some manufacturers run a very small amount of friction material on their shoes.

Thanks trent. I just checked the cost of rebonding it back to spec of 2.5mm. It is around 50% cheaper than buying them from Toyota. I don't know of what the friction material need to be used at least. Ceramic or semi-metallic? I am guessing ceramic.

Any ideas guys?

I'm surprised that you found that the cost of rebonding was less than new. I would get a price elsewhere.
