K10 drum brake clip ID?
These clips came in the spring kit for the drum brakes on a 86 k10. I've never them before and can't find any info on them. Anybody know what there for?

They go in the adjuster slots in the backing plate to help keep dirt, dust, and water out.

Re: K10 drum brake clip ID?
I had this same question a while ago, and as said above they're for the adjusters.
BUT if your backing plates are like mine they don't have any holes for adjustment. Some people said they had a 'knock out' but mine don't have that either. |

Re: K10 drum brake clip ID?
Some brake backing plates have the knockouts for adjusting the star wheel, some don't.
Some have the knockouts on the brake drum and the tire/wheel has to be removed to adjust the brakes. It's weird, there is no consistency. Guess that would make too much sense.
