I do use the 2 smaller holes a lot of times when i have trouble removing brakes. Only thing is in the DIY i dont expect someone to have 2 spare bolts that are the correct size laying around. And usually if the drum is out of adjustment it should jsut come off very easily. Otherwise a large rubber mallet does wonders as well =).
As for lube if you have never done it before i dont reccomend it because if you get any on the brake pad it will create hotspots on the brake drum. Which is why i only reccomend water to clean out the dust cause any harsh chemical like brake cleaner has the possibility of removing the lube that is already there. Although i use about 2 cans of brake cleaner on a daily basis. I always use brake clean to clean drums.

oh.. cleaned and adjusted the rear brakes. That was easy. Handbrake pulls ~5 clicks now :)
All i have to do next is fix the front calipers... take them apart, turn the discs, lub the calipers and put everything back... |

Did it on yesterday, it was so exhausted man..haha.. Well now my e-brake only need 3-clicks but I have found my car now have more friction, engine performance dropped, means need more acceleration to move the car. Is that because the brake adjustment makes the car more frictions?
I have double checked the brake shoes have not rubbed with the drum after it adjusted, and the drum on both side with no overheating or burn smell after a day of driving.. |

Just performed this procedure. A rubber mallet works well to loosen the drum without any damage to the drum or backing plate. The primary objective is to loosen the light rust bond between the axle and center of the drum.

Just wondering does anyone have the size for those "little bolts" to drive the drum off? I've always used the rubber mallet in the past but just wondering.

You can apply some hi temp grease where the hub and drum meet that will make taking apart much easier the next time

There are a few parts that are missing to this. When you adjust the brakes you're going to want to take out the actual adjuster and clean that with brake cleaner because alot of gunk builds up on it aswell. When you do this, it will free up the self adjusting process and when you back up and stomp on the brakes it will work to some extent. This doesn't have to be done, but its a good thing to do and only will take like 2 extra mins to clean up the adjuster.
