2. Remove the Wheel Use a lug wrench to loosen and remove the wheel nuts. Once the nuts are removed, take the wheel off and set it aside. This will give you access to the brake drum.

3. Lack of Maintenance Infrequent brake service can lead to various issues, including a stuck adjuster. Brake systems require periodic inspection and adjustment to function correctly, and neglecting this can result in stuck components.

7. Testing Bago gamitin ang sasakyan, subukan ang mga preno sa isang ligtas na lugar. Siguraduhing gumagana nang maayos ang mga ito.

2. Heat Dissipation Another crucial function of painting brake drums is improved heat dissipation. Brake systems generate significant heat during operation, especially under heavy braking conditions. A black finish can enhance heat dissipation, as darker colors tend to absorb and radiate heat more effectively than lighter colors. This can help maintain optimal operating temperatures, which is essential for preventing brake fade—a reduction in braking efficiency due to overheating.

For instance, the brake spring tool allows technicians to safely compress and remove the tightly wound springs that hold the brake shoes in place. This tool is designed to reduce the risk of injury from spring recoil, a common hazard when working on drum brakes. Similarly, the brake adjuster tool simplifies the adjustment of the brake shoes to ensure optimal performance. This is crucial, as improper adjustment can lead to decreased braking efficiency and increased wear on components.
