Rear drum brake cable tips
Rear drum brakes use the parking brake cable to pull the lever arm inside the drum, so the cable’s length and end fittings must line up with the backing plate. A cable that is too long can keep the shoes partly applied, while one that is too short may stop the lever from engaging. Both problems show up as a brake that drags or fails to hold on a slope.
Drum parking brake cables sit close to the wheel, so they pick up dirt, water and heat from the drum area. Check the outer sheath for cracks and the inner cable for fraying. When replacing one side, inspect the adjuster and the other cable too, since they wear together and affect how the shoes sit against the drum.
- Check the lever arm moves freely
- Inspect the backing plate for leaks
- Adjust the shoes after the cable is fitted
