Brake Drum Fitting

Brake Drums are a Safety Critical Component

Replacement is necessary when braking surfaces are scored, or the diameter has exceeded the maximum size marked on the rim of the drum.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

To fit a new brake drum, the following instructions must be followed:

1. clean drum with suitable solvent, to remove protective coating

2. Ensure all mating surfaces, (brake drum, hub, axle, bearings etc.) are completely clean and free of burrs, or other defects.

IMPORTANT CHECK POINTS

Replacement of one brake drum can be dangerous, due to unbalanced braking

Always replace brake drums in “pairs” (left & right) to ensure even braking.

Always fit new brake shoes with new brake drums.

Avoid high speed braking or excessive braking until new brake drums are “bedded-in” to avoid overheating and subsequent reduction in braking performance.

A distance of at least 200-300 kms is recommended for running in period

REGULAR INSPECTION

Brake drums and brake shoes are safety critical components.

Regular inspections of these components are essential for safety.
