How to tell if the brake drum needs to be replaced?

The method to determine whether the brake drum needs to be replaced is:

1. Observe that the thickness of the brake drum is only one third of the original;

2. There is an abnormal sound when braking lightly;

3. The braking response is slow and the braking force becomes weak.

The brake drum is composed of a rotating part, a fixed part, an actuating part and a positioning adjustment device. The method of replacing the brake drum is:

1. Jack up the car and remove the tires;

2. Unscrew the fixing screws on the brake cylinder and remove the brake cylinder;

3. Remove the old brake drum and push back the brake cylinder piston;

4. Clean the brake disc mounting bracket and install the new brake drum.
