rear brake shoe sizes

[AngryDad]

How can I find which size rear brake shoes my 1994 Hyundai Pony X2 has, without faffing about removing the wheel/s? 'Nando' is written on the Master Cylinder. The local motorparts shop says the car uses one of two different sized brake shoes, but cannot tell me which size ones I should buy!!

unfortunately thats the problem with using non-gen parts, not that i am against them...its just the cross reference books are not as specific as the manufactures parts lists. I tried to purchase a set of Polo pads a few days ago and was told there were 4 variations from the factors..ended up purchasing them from a VW dealer, spot on 1st time no daft questions about make/size etc..( and they were only a couple of quid more)

you shoud try a front coil spring on a renault kangoo van!! i had to replace one and when i called renault to order a new one i was told there were over 30 variations!!! sounds bollox i know but thats what they said!! anyway do you know how thye advised us to identify which one we needed!!!! wait for it?? they said we had to tell them what 2 colours of paint had been marked on them when the car came from the factory!!! luckily these were still visible but had the car been older this may not have been available due to dirt,rust or the paint flaking off!!! frenchies - ******* crackpots the lot of em!!!

Hi, make a note of the Master Cylinder , get the Chassis No, the year of your car, The CC of the car

Hi angry dad
I am suprised to here a question about a pony you never see any now, nando still make brake parts for the currant hyundai's so a dealer part may be still availible
As for renault springs they have been doing this for years
