Orion Brake Resetting Gauge Overview

The Orion Motor Tech brake resetting gauge measures drum diameters from 6.5 to 14.25 inches with dual metric and imperial scales. It features 1/32 inch and 0.88 mm increments for precise readings. A wingnut locks the measurement so you can transfer it directly to the brake shoes. The tool is built from durable metal and weighs 0.599 kilograms.

Who Benefits and Who Does Not

Mechanics adjusting rear drum brakes, parking brakes, hand brakes or disc rotors will find the gauge speeds up shoe clearance setup. It suits workshops and DIYers who need repeatable measurements between 160 and 360 mm. Buyers who only service disc brake callipers without drum components will not use the inside jaws. Shops requiring electronic readouts or data logging should look at digital alternatives.

Check Your Setup Before Buying

Verify that the drums you service fall within the 6.5 to 14.25 inch range. Ensure you have space to position the inside jaws inside the drum and the outside jaws beside the shoes. The tool measures 11 by 8.25 by 1 inches, so confirm your tool drawer or workbench can accommodate it. No power source or special sockets are required.

Questions about this item

Do I need a drum brake with an inside diameter between 6.5 and 14.25 inches for this gauge to work?

Yes, the tool measures drum inner diameters from 6.5 to 14.25 inches (160 to 360 mm) using the inside jaws and wingnut lock.

Will the 1/32 inch and 0.88 mm dual scale let me match the setting on older drums measured only in imperial?

The gauge shows both scales simultaneously, so you can read the locked measurement in 1/32 inch increments and convert directly to 0.88 mm steps for older hardware.

After locking the wingnut, how do I confirm the shoes are adjusted to the correct clearance?

Transfer the gauge to the shoes and adjust them until they just touch the outside jaws; the locked setting matches the drum diameter exactly.
