What is brake drum replacement?
Worn or damaged brake drums are replaced to restore rear braking and handbrake performance.
Some cars and utes use drum brakes at the rear. Drums wear oversized, crack or score over time. New drums, usually with new shoes, restore braking performance.
Signs you need it
- Grinding from the rear wheels
- Weak handbrake
- Drums beyond maximum diameter
- Pulsing when braking
How it works
- Remove wheels and drums
- Measure and inspect
- Fit new drums and shoes if needed
- Adjust and test
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
