Diagnostic Starting Point - Drum Brakes

Begin the drum brake system diagnosis with Diagnostic Starting Point - Hydraulic Brakes in Hydraulic Brakes. The use of the Diagnostic Starting Point leads to the identification of the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.

Scheme 14

1. Clean the brake shoe lining contact surface of the brake drum with denatured alcohol or an equivalent brake cleaner.
2. Using a brake drum micrometer calibrated in thousands of an inch, measure and record the largest diameter of the brake drum at four or more points, equally spaced around the drum. Ensure that the measurements are only taken within the brake shoe lining contact area and that the micrometer is positioned the same distance from the outside edge of the drum for each measurement.
3. Compare the largest diameter measurement recorded to the following specifications: Specification: Brake drum maximum allowable diameter after refinishing 251.0 mm (9.882 in). Brake drum discard diameter 251.5 mm (9.902 in).
4. If the largest diameter measurement of the brake drum is less than the maximum allowable diameter after refinishing specification; the drum may be able to be refinished, depending upon surface and wear conditions which may be present.
5. If the largest diameter measurement of the brake drum is equal to or greater than the maximum allowable diameter after resurfacing specification; the drum may not be refinished.
6. If the largest diameter measurement of the brake drum is equal to or greater than the discard diameter specification; the drum requires replacement.

Cracks and/or heat spots Excessive blueing discoloration Missing balance weights
3. If the braking surface of the brake drum exhibits one or more of the Braking Surface Conditions, the drum requires refinishing or replacement.
4. Using a brake drum micrometer calibrated in thousands of an inch, measure and record any grooves present on the drum braking surface. Ensure that the measurements are only taken within the brake shoe lining contact area.

2. Brake drums should only be refinished if the following conditions exist: Excessive corrosion/rust and/or pitting Cracks and/or heat spots Excessive blueing discoloration Scoring of the brake drum surface (in excess of the maximum allowable specification) Radial runout in excess of the maximum allowable specification

System Component Description

The drum brake system consists of the following

System Operation

Mechanical output force is applied from the hydraulic brake wheel cylinder pistons to the top of the drum brake shoes. The output force is then distributed between the primary and secondary brake shoes as the shoes expand toward the friction surface of the brake drums. The brake shoes apply the output force to the friction surface of the brake drums, which slows the rotation of the tire and wheel assemblies. The proper function of both the drum brake hardware and adjusting hardware is essential to the proper distribution of braking force.
