Causes of a Stuck Adjuster

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of rear brake drums and shoes, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips

While converting drum brakes to disc brakes has its advantages, it is not without challenges. The first consideration is the cost. Converting a vehicle may require purchasing new components such as rotors, calipers, pads, and appropriate mounting hardware. Labor costs for installation can also be significant.

Despite their advantages, rear drum brakes do come with some drawbacks. One notable issue is heat dissipation. Drum brakes can overheat during heavy braking situations, which can lead to brake fade—a reduction in stopping power due to overheating. This is less common in disc brakes, which tend to cool more effectively due to their exposed design.

1. Warm Up the Vehicle If the freezing occurs due to temperature, gently driving the vehicle for a short distance can help warm up the brakes and might release any frozen components. However, be cautious not to drive too fast or aggressively, as this may exacerbate the problem.

3. Apply Penetrating Oil Spray a generous amount of penetrating oil around the drum where it meets the spindle. Allow it to soak for a few minutes to loosen any rust.
