Re: Rear Drum Brakes Grabbing
Quote:
I did it on my Suburban, and didn't figure it out for months. And thousands of miles. The shoes would grab and drag, the brake fluid would get hot, and pretty soon I'd have a rock-hard pedal. I'd pull over, bust out the tools, un-screw the self-adjuster in a parking lot, and go until the self-adjuster tightened the shoes up again, a few hundred miles or several weeks later, depending on how much I backed up in that time (activating the self-adjuster). Once I realized what an idiot I was, that particular problem was solved. -Brad
