Reliable Rear Braking Solutions With OEM Brake Drums
While many modern vehicles utilize discs, several classic models rely on a robust drum brake system. A high-quality setup provides excellent surface area for friction, making it an efficient choice for parking brakes and rear-axle deceleration. Maintaining the brakes in your Jaguar XK helps prevent "pulling" during braking and ensuring your vehicle passes safety inspections.
How to Service Your Brake Drum System Correctly
1. Safely Elevate the Rear Axle
Engage the front wheel chocks, lift the rear of the car, and remove the wheels to access the brake system.
2. Remove the Brake Drum
Ensure the parking brake is released, then pull the drum toward you. If stuck, use the adjustment port to back off the shoes.
3. Clean the Internal Components
Use specialized brake cleaner to remove dust and debris from the shoes, springs, and the inside of the drum-brake assembly.
4. Measure the Drum Diameter
Use a micrometer to check if the drum has enough thickness remaining.
5. Inspect the Wheel Cylinder
Pull back the rubber boots on the wheel cylinder to check for any brake fluid leaks. Replace any missing or faded wheel center caps after your brake service.
6. Adjust the Brake Shoes
Turn the star wheel adjuster until the shoes just barely touch the drum.
7. Reinstall and Test
Slide the new or serviced drum back into place, reinstall the wheel, and test brakes at low speeds.
