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:
-
clean drum with suitable solvent, to
remove protective coating
-
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.
