Drum brakes
Does anyone have a diagram to put together drum brakes on an 88 G20 van? I need to replace wheel cylinders so I might as well do the whole job and I know the springs are color coded. The old hardware is rusty and crusty and it's impossible to see what color they are.
|
They are all the same colour....orange. Just do one side at a time.....use the other side as a template.....Take note that one brake shoe has more lining than the other.....
|
the hardware kits I've bought before had springs that were different colors.
|
go by the shape of the springs. if you have wear safety glasses wear them for this job.
|
I was joking. They are orange every time you do rear brakes from the rust.....lol
Like above, go by the shape, and use one side as a reference.....besides If you pull both sides off, the wheel cylinder piston will pop out of the side you are not working on.....do one side at a time. |
Actually, Iwill be replacing the wheel cylinders too because one of them is leaking real bad. Shoes are soaked in brake fluid. Parts will cost $47 plus the cost of turning the drums or replacing them.
|
One side at a time, use the other side as reference.
|
I can do that but I plan on getting them both done while the drums are getting turned.
|
They're usually the same color, orange. Actually not usually but always :D So you should probably do one side at time and the other one can be your template.
|
Just take a few photos after the drums are removed & the shoe with more lining goes to the rear.
