Do you have a parts diagram and instruction manual for replacing my rear brake drum, or wheel bearings?
RESPONSE
Rear Brake Drum Inspection
Check that there are no cracks or chips in the braking surface. Excessive bluing indicates overheating and a replacement drum is needed. The drum can be machined to remove minor damage and to establish a rounded braking surface on a warped drum. Never exceed the maximum oversize of the drum when machining the braking surface. The maximum inside diameter is stamped on the rim of the drum.
