A parking brake shoe kit for the Honda Element restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced Element parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Honda Element. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the Element, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Honda Element parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Honda Element includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the Element drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the Element parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Honda Element, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the Element mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Honda Element, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the Element.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Honda Element sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the Element rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the Element traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Honda Element corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the Element produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Honda Element on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Honda Element are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the Element are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Honda Element rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Honda Element exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the Element drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Honda Element uses parking brake shoes?
Honda Element vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some Element variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Honda Element parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Honda Element parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Honda Element can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the Element. If the Honda Element fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your Element.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Honda Element after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the Element cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Honda Element, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of Element lever travel.
