When do we need to change the rear brake drum's pad? I'm very afraid of those mechanics say "must change" but actually can still use it till the next servicing.

Tks!

I did my at 60k km. I was there when the mechanics took out my old brake shoes and compare it with the new ones. Approx. only 20% left on the old brake shoes, hence i proceed to change it.

According to the guys at TC, they recommened to change it at 50k km.

Hope this help.

That sounds like the pricing for original Nissan replacement stock.

I hope you were not given OEM stock.
