My Brake Shoes?, I need some help identifying my brake shoes pleae :) TIA Options

[nyawton]

Hey guys Iv been having a bit of a problem with my e-brake
Not had the car long and looks like the left e-brake/hand brake has been stuck on so i need some new shoes

Problem is iv been to many shops to buy them , All of witch cant identify them.

Do you guys have any idea what system they are from? Is it only the Gt & The 5th Gen that is used to Convert the 6th gen to Disc?

My Car is a 1.8 1995 celica st. It has rear discs so guess its been converted at some point?

Cheers in advance guys

Those are most likely dealer only parts.
IIRC you can't get the ebrake shoes aftermarket.
Though you being in the UK might change that.
Also, I believe they are the same size for the 4th - 6th gen Celicas.
Maybe not though.

Yeah thought that , but im still unsure if these are evenfrom a celica?
Apparently corola also fit?
The shops can get me some but only to order so i need to know what they are from.
Cheers for any replies , much appreciated

They all look alike, you really need to compare sizes....

yeah, thats it. here's a website explaining how the drum/caliper combo works. [pg7]

I spent about a whole week looking at auto parts for this part. its a dealer only part here in the united states.

Its pretty simple to replace if you're mechanically inclined.
