Title: Squeaky drum brake... Post by built2last66 on 02/25/12 at 08:02:28 So my drum brake is squeaky when stopping pressure is applied.. since I've never taken it apart I was wondering if there was any quick fix for this without dis-assembly, such as spraying brake cleaner into it or something off the wall like that... Thanks |

Title: Re: Squeaky drum brake... Post by drums1 on 02/27/12 at 15:23:50 I went through this problem last year. Nothing I did would stop the squeek, until I replaced the shoes. I roughed up the inside of the drum, where the shoe contacts the drum, with emery cloth while it was apart. I also roughed up the new shoes with the emery cloth. And I beveled the leading and trailing edges of the new shoes, just to be sure. Even now, it still squeeks a little when I 1st go out. 2 or 3 hard stops and it goes away. I see no other way to fix this problem without taking it apart, unfortunately. |
