1990 Ranger 10" Rear Drum Brake Cylinder To Shoe Link Part

[Aoresteen]

I'm doing an 8.8" rear end swap into my 1990 XLT 2WD Super Cab and the donor rear end came out of a 1991 Ranger Super Cab. The drum brakes are 10" and the brakes were well rusted.

I was able to track down most of the brake parts except for the pins that go into the wheel cylinder and engage the brake shoe. No brake kit seems to have them and mine are pretty well beat up:

I went to my local Ford dealer and the part number is F57Z 2042-AA and the cost was $28 each. Since I needed 4 that would be $112 plus tax. Yikes!

I did some more research and I found them at O'Reilly's for $3.09 each:

I thought I'd post it here to help the next guy who needs to replace this critical brake part.

Many years later, this is still great info! Hopefully they fit in my 99... dimensions look right
