❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my brake shoes need replacing?

Reduced braking power, squealing, uneven braking or visible wear inside the drum are common signs indicating it’s time for a replacement.

Does this kit cover both wheels?

No—this kit fits one wheel. You’ll need two kits for a complete axle.

Is this a genuine Knott product?

While not an original Knott product, this is a high‑quality Knott‑style compatible kit, manufactured to OEM specifications.

Can I fit these brake shoes myself?

Most competent DIYers can install them with basic tools, but professional fitting is recommended for safety, especially to ensure proper fitting.
