SSH55 shoes are precision cam ground for a true fit against the drum arc, post cured for reduced break-in time and stronger initial bite, and chamfered on the leading and trailing edges to eliminate the chatter and noise common in vintage drum setups. Compatible with 1951-1958 Chevrolet Fleetline Car, 1953-1958 Bel Air, 1953-1962 Corvette, 1953-1956 One-Fifty Series, 1953-1956 Two-Ten Series, 1957-1958 Del Ray, 1958 Biscayne, Brookwood, Impala, Nomad, and Yeoman. A complete hardware kit is included so there is no need to source separate springs, clips, or retainers for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey

PowerStop SSH55 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSH55 fits 1951-1962 classic Chevrolet models including the 1951-1952 Fleetline Car, 1953-1958 Bel Air, 1953-1962 Corvette, 1953-1956

one wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PowerStop SSH55 is sold as a complete rear axle set covering both rear wheels. No additional shoe purchase is needed to complete the rear brake job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes SSH55 include the hardware kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. PowerStop includes a premium hardware kit with the SSH55 containing all springs, retainer pins, adjuster hardware, and clips needed to complete a full rear drum brake service without sourcing separate hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat drum size do the SSH55 shoes fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSH55 is designed for 11-inch diameter drums with a 2-inch wide braking surface, which is the standard rear drum specification for 1951-1962 full-size and mid-size Chevrolet passenger cars and the early Corvette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between bonded and riveted brake shoes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonded shoes like the SSH55 use high-pressure adhesive bonding to attach the friction material to the steel backing plate. This eliminates rivet heads that can score drum surfaces at low pad thickness. Bonded construction also allows the friction material to be used to a thinner minimum thickness before replacement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo semi-metallic shoes cause more drum wear than organic shoes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern semi-metallic shoes like the SSH55 are formulated to work within the hardness range of standard cast iron drums. When properly bedded, they provide excellent stopping power without accelerating drum wear beyond normal service intervals. Asbestos-free and copper-free formulations also eliminate legacy contamination concerns from older friction compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I bed in new SSH55 brake shoes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter installation and adjustment, perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 30 mph, allowing the brakes to cool between each stop. Avoid hard or panic stops during the first 200 miles of use. The post-cure process PowerStop applies to the SSH55 significantly shortens the full bedding window compared to raw semi-metallic compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan the SSH55 be used on the front axle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SSH55 is designed and validated for rear drum applications on the listed 1951-1962 Chevrolet vehicles. Front drum specifications on these vehicles differ in arc geometry and shoe width, so SSH55 is not interchangeable with front drum shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is PowerStop's warranty on the SSH55?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerStop covers the SSH55 Autospecialty brake shoes under a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact PowerStop directly with your order information to initiate a warranty claim if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lift and support the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels and brake drums. If the drum is seized, use a drum puller or tap gently with a rubber mallet around the circumference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the drum interior for scoring, cracks, or diameter beyond the discard spec (11.060 inches for most applications). Resurface or replace as needed before installing new shoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotograph the existing shoe and spring configuration on one side before disassembly. Use the undisturbed side as a reference if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing brake spring pliers, remove the return springs, hold-down springs, and retainer pins. Remove the old shoes and adjuster assembly from the backing plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean the backing plate contact pads and adjuster threads with brake cleaner. Apply a thin coat of high-temperature brake grease to the backing plate contact ledges only. Do not contaminate the drum surface or friction material.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall the new adjuster assembly and SSH55 shoes using the hardware from the included kit. Seat the hold-down pins and springs first, then attach the return springs per the original configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjust the shoes outward until light drag is felt when turning the drum by hand, then back off slightly for clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinstall the drum and wheel, torque lug nuts to factory specification, and repeat on the opposite side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower the vehicle and pump the brake pedal firmly until it feels solid. Test at low speed before driving at normal speeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform 8 to 10 light break-in stops from 30 mph to bed the friction material and complete the post-cure activation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and phthalates, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
