I have a 2023 Reflection 150, it came with the new lippert ABS system and have put about 11,000 miles on it so far. I was in the process of re-packing my wheel bearings when I noticed that my brake pads on my Rear Driverside were in need of replacement. Looks like it could have just been poorly adjusted from the factory as only one pad in the pair was worn.
I was noticing that the ABS system has created some subtle design changes to Drum hardware. There is a castelaltion feature on the rim of the drum so a wheel speed sensor which is mounted at the 12 o'clock position of the backing plate can pick it up.
Usually its easier to just replace the pads, springs and backing plate as a whole kit. Has anyone changed brake hardware yet on a ABS based system? Do the 5k-7k kits have a knock out for the wheel speed sensor? Or is there a special part number I need to look for? or do people just drill a hole and make it work? Or do I need to do this the old fashion way and just replace the pads?
