A brake drum kit for the Plymouth Reliant addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Reliant drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Plymouth Reliant. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Reliant. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Plymouth Reliant in a single order.
The kit for your Plymouth Reliant includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Reliant for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Plymouth Reliant drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Reliant, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Plymouth Reliant application.
Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Plymouth Reliant drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Reliant drum is worn, the shoes are typically at or near minimum thickness, the hardware is corroded, and the wheel cylinder boots are deteriorating on your Plymouth Reliant. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Reliant produces a service that underperforms within months.
Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Plymouth Reliant. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Reliant produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Plymouth Reliant, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Reliant.
How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Plymouth Reliant?
A basic kit for the Plymouth Reliant is appropriate when the wheel cylinders have been recently replaced and show no signs of leaking. A full-service kit is the stronger choice during a high-mileage Reliant overhaul, particularly on American Plymouth Reliant vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.
Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Plymouth Reliant at the same time?
Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Plymouth Reliant as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Reliant create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.
Can I install a brake drum kit on my Plymouth Reliant myself?
Rear drum brake service on the Plymouth Reliant is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Reliant, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Plymouth Reliant is essential.
