What's In The Box

• Return springs (leading and trailing)
• Hold-down springs and pins
• Star wheel adjuster
• Actuator lever hardware
• Small mounting hardware to complete the rear drum brake service

Specifications

• Position: Rear (drum brake)
• Part number: Dorman HW17432

Fitment

• Toyota Tacoma — select years (rear-drum-brake models)

Fits rear-drum-brake Tacoma models — not for rear disc conversions. Verify OE hardware layout on your truck before ordering. Full brake hardware kits collection for matching shoes, wheel cylinders, and drums.

Why Replace the Hardware

• Rusted return springs lose tension — old shoes drag against the drum instead of retracting cleanly
• Corroded star wheel adjuster — a stuck star wheel will not let you adjust the shoe-to-drum clearance; your rear brakes stay perpetually mis-adjusted
• Stretched hold-down springs — old springs let the shoes vibrate against the backing plate causing brake noise
• Standard practice on every OE rear drum brake service — mechanics replace this hardware every time; DIY installers skip it and regret it
• Insurance during a $60 shoe swap — the $17 hardware kit is what makes the shoe swap last 100,000 miles

Install Notes

• Do this job with the rotor drum removed and shoes off
• Take pictures before removing the old hardware — spring orientation is easy to get wrong on reassembly
• Angled needle-nose pliers are the right tool for the return springs
• Grease the star wheel adjuster threads with high-temp brake grease before assembly
• Adjust the star wheel so the drum just barely drags on the shoes, then back off two clicks
• Pump the parking brake pedal or lever several times after install to seat everything
