65 coronet front brake shoes cracked

[fwi]

Still have a lot of shoe left but they are cracked...should I replace these?

 

[WP29440SE]

it looks like they were overheated. personally, I would replace them along with freshly turned drums.

 

[sleepar]

They are toast.... I would check the drums and weel bearings for wear and excessive heat blueing cracking etc....

 

[nm9stheham]

Exactly... bearings, seals, hardware kit to include '69 and up adjusters, weel cylinders,and all 3 rubber lines then shoes and drums.... and check out the thread on ventilated drums I started on here.

There are people that will try adn save the 20 bucks if they can.

Personally I believe brakes are #1 with a suspension in good shape as #2 and good headlights as a close #3 in importance.
