Brake Drum: Service and Repair




Brake Drum

Removal and Installation

WARNING: Do not breathe dust or use compressed air to blow dust from storage containers or friction components. Remove dust using government-approved techniques. Friction component dust may be a cancer and lung disease hazard. Exposure to potentially hazardous components may occur if dusts are created during repair of friction components, such as brake pads and clutch discs. Exposure may also cause irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause allergic reactions and/or may lead to other chronic health effects. If irritation persists, seek medical attention or advice. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: Make sure that the parking brake control is fully released.

1. Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Wheels and Tires Removal and Replacement.

2. NOTICE: Use of a brake drum puller or a torch is not recommended. Brake drum distortion may result.

NOTE: If the brake drum is rusted to the axle shaft pilot diameter, tap the center of the brake drum between the wheel studs.

Remove the brake drum.
