Yet another brakes query !

Almost embarrassing now with all my brake woes !

I got a set of new front axle brake shoes for my 88' 1976 petrol.

On each side, one of the shoes has a peg attached - for the adjuster snail cam to push against.

The new shoes I bought (from local UNIPART outlet) includes the pegs in a small bag... and they are not a tight fit. I tried using "no more nails' to get the pegs to seat and stay... but each time I attach the top spring the peg works its way out and drops out !!

Anyone know if the pegs are normally in a bag or do genuine ones have the pegs welded into place ?

Cheers

the pins are supposed to be peened into place this basically means hammering the end to spread it out - this will both make it a good fit in the hole and hold it firm

all the shoes i have ever seen came assembled
Take them back
