COACH GUARD Brake Shoe Core Return Procedure:

On all cast shoes with a core charge, an RGA will automatically be issued upon purchase of your new bonded brake wheel set (2 shoes per set). Credit will only be issued as wheel sets (i.e. 2 or 3 returned brake shoes constitute one core credit). To ensure an expedient and correct credit on your core, all cast shoes must be segregated from fabricated shoes and ship as outlined below.

You will not incur a core charge when purchasing COACH GUARD fabricated bonded brakes, but we will be glad to take your non-asbestos lined used shoes at our expense. Place used shoes in a suitable shipping container:

Palletized wire shipping containers
Palletized clean, fifty-five gallon drums (drums must be securely banded to pallet)
Palletized heavy cardboard boxes (do not exceed box manufacturer's weight or capacity)
Palletized wooden crates

Mark each shipping container with name and address of sender.

Note: At MCI's discretion customers will be charged for improperly shipped used shoes if:

Improperly classified and / or packaged
Not shipped by the specified carrier
Lining contains asbestos
No sender identification
