Abstract: A drum-in-hat park brake assembly having a first brake shoe retained on a backing plate by a first pin and a second brake shoe retained by a second pin. The first and second pins permit the first and second brake shoes to be moved in a radial plane and to rotate about an axis of an opening in the backing plate. The first and second brake shoes each have a first engagement end which is aligned on the backing plate by an anchor post and a second engagement end which is selectively spaced apart by an adjuster mechanism. A spring arrangement urges the first and second brake shoes toward the anchor post and into engagement with the adjuster mechanism. An actuator assembly is connected to the first engagement end of the first and second brake shoes and upon receiving an input force moves first and second friction pads associated with the first and second brake shoes into radial engagement with a drum.
