Rebuilding a rear drum brake
Replacing drums and shoes together is the usual way to refresh a rear drum brake, because the shoes wear against the drum surface and the two parts mate over time. Once the drums are off, check the wheel cylinders for leaks, inspect the adjuster and springs for wear, and confirm the axle seals are dry. Skipping these checks can leave a leak or a sticking shoe that undoes the new parts.
Clean the backing plate and the hardware before assembly, and lubricate only the contact points the service procedure calls for. Set the shoes so they seat correctly against the drum, then adjust for proper clearance before the first drive. Bed in the new linings gently, since full braking on fresh material can reduce early stopping performance.
- Check wheel cylinders for fluid leaks
- Inspect springs and the self-adjuster for wear
- Clean the backing plate before fitting new hardware
- Bed in new linings with gentle stops
