89 MJ rear dana 44 drum brake rebuild


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a complete kit (shoes, all the springs and stuff, and the self adjusters) available to rebuild they back brakes on my 89 MJ? the only one I've found so far is this one, which is missing the self adjusters: https://www.quadratec.com/p/crown-automotive/rear-drum-brake-service-kit-cherokee-xj-comanche-mj-52001915K

 

If you do let me know, I'm getting desperate.

I just did my D44 brakes yesterday- wheel cylinders, adjuster kit and hardware kit. All purchased from NAPA. 

Cylinder and adjuster kits are L R specific. Includes self adjuster. 

 

I had to get the shoes from Auto Zone. NAPA couldn’t get the shoes. 
 

(I hate drum brakes. Makes me want to do the disk brake conversion.)

Why are you so desperate to buy a complete kit? You can piece everything together for a lot less money than the Quadratech kit . 
 

Raybestos drums $36 each On amazon 

Shoes ( less than $40 depending on what brand you Want 

combi kit less than $20 

wheel cylinders $10 each 

adusters $10 each 

I tried that and although each product said they matched the Dana 44 brakes each kit is not compatible with the other parts, and some parts are different that what was inside the drum previously.

all those parts are on my Comanche Dana 44, actually all three d44s And I have no issues. Not sure why they say it won’t workAnd I have no issues. Not sure why they say it won’t work

Did mine this summer.  Rockauto

 

Drums -  Raybestos 2515R   x 2

Wheel cylinders - Centric 13461006 - 13461007

Shoes - Bendix 481

Parking brake cables - BC93591 x 2

Picked up the installation kit locally (springs etc), don't remember where.  Napa probably.  I think maybe I ordered one from Amazon and it was wrong.

 

Paint your drums with some VHT Caliper paint.

 

Good luck.
