Noise from the drums....

[Lafiro]

Ok, I did the DIY, and I think its over adjusted by a lot now. The front will not lock anymore because the beack are receiving so much brake pressure now. The brake pedal is much MUCH firmer, and the ebrake will only click up once and the car will stop, its also VERY firm after the first inch.

Should I undo the star wheel a bit, or let it run its course? They will need to be changed by this middle of the summer anyway. They seem to be 40% used, and a bit of cracking is showing.

And yes, the amount of dust inside was incredible, but the can od compressed air did its job well.

Now the noise it gone from using the ebrake, and pressing on the brakes. I guess that was the noise of the line sqeaking against itself in the tube going to the drums? Now that the line is bearly moving to apply the brakes the noise is gone, for now.

Edit: as per a mechanic now, if anyone in the future gets the wierd noise from the drums(brakes lines going to the drums), its time to change the brake shoes!, and condiering I checked mine, he is 100% correct.
I do realize that when I apply the brakes, the drums make a metal on metal sound like something expanding with a LOT of pressure, even with little pressure on the brake pedal... but I guess that was from over adjusting it.

Strange thing is that with the wheel off, the bug moved about less then a full spin. This went for both hubs.

With wheels on, they spinned a few times which made me think they needed to be adjusted more, but Im wrong.
...Making the DIY inaccurate!

If you need to know, I turned the star wheel about 10-14clicks for each side because they were so loose all the way until 10clicks.

So yes, they have not been adjusted for a wheel, maybe since the middle of last year, and yes I abuse the brakes, so make they wore out very fast thats all.
