Advise: Brake Shoe Size

Is there a way to tell what size brake shoe I have without actually taking out my shoe and measuring it? It's a 2005 Civic EX. I've never replaced a shoe before, and being told that I need to know the correct size to buy.

Thanks for the help!

No need to know the size. You just the parts guy at your local auto store the make and model of your car and he will get you the part

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: Advise: Brake Shoe Size

Do you REALLY need rear shoes? They last for the life of the car for most people in my area. Easily outlast 5 sets of front brakes or more.

Aftermarkets won't normally last near as long as factory.

Buying online? Use a real Honda dealer, for craps sake. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/
