Default Drum brakes - do you disconnect the parking brake cable?

Wow. That's a great point. You are perceptive since I didn't even notice
that. There is a PDF that the US government puts out every few years that
must contain a lookup for *every* brake shoe or pad ever sold in the USA
for passenger vehicles.

I'll see if I can find it on the net because it allows us to cross
reference a full number (like the Centric CEN11005890-110AA1436-FF-14-N16)
to the actual manufacturer (which might not be Centric who themselves may
not even make shoes as it may be a re-brander just like Axxis and PBR are
exactly the same pads).

The PowerStop number doesn't look like the full number, so I'll skip that.

But the Bosch number looks like a full number at
FB0589-80S?-584-FF-N14-0709.

Here's an older listing from 2011 titled:
AMECA Compliance List of Automotive Safety Devices:
Friction Material Edge Codes(TM), May 2011
<http://safebraking.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/AMECA-List-of-VESC-V-3-Brake-Friction-Material-Edge-Codes-May-20112.pdf>

It's 176 pages so I'll go through it to see if I can find out more
information about the Toyota OEM friction ratings, but I'm pretty sure that
it's getting to be a safer bet that they're FF rated shoes.

I haven't been able to find a *newer* friction-codes document yet though.
