Brake Drum: Service and Repair




Rear Brake Drum Replacement

NOTE: Keep any grease off the brake drum and brake shoes.

1. Raise and support the vehicle Service and Repair.

2. Remove the rear wheel.

3. Release the parking brake, and remove the brake drum (A) from the hub bearing unit.

NOTE:

- If necessary, turn the adjuster bolt (B) with a flat-tip screwdriver until the shoes become loose.
- If the brake drum has clung to the hub bearing unit. Thread two 8 x 1.25 mm bolts (C) into the brake drum to push it away from the hub bearing unit. Turn each bolt 90 degrees at a time to prevent cocking the brake drum.





4. Install the brake drum in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

- Before installing the brake drum, clean the mating surfaces between the rear hub and the inside of the brake drum.
- After installation, press the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work and self-adjust the brake shoes.

5. Clean the mating surfaces between the brake drum and the inside of the wheel, then install the rear wheel.
