Step 8 Use a Brake Drum Puller

How to Remove a Stuck Drum Brake

The swedge cutter is typically mounted on a brake lathe, a machine specifically designed for turning brake components. As the brake drum rotates, the cutting edge of the swedge cutter comes into contact with the drum’s surface, removing material in a controlled manner. This machining process not only smooths out the surface but also brings it back to its original specifications, thus extending the life of the brake drum and ensuring consistent brake performance.

- Squeaking or Grinding Noises Unusual noises when braking can indicate that the pads have worn down and need replacement.

One of the key advantages of drum brakes is their ability to generate a significant amount of braking force, especially under conditions of higher load. Additionally, they are less susceptible to “brake fade,” a phenomenon where brakes lose effectiveness due to overheating, making them suitable for vehicles that experience frequent stop-and-go travel or heavy loads. However, drum brakes do have some limitations; they are typically heavier than disc brakes and can be more complicated to service and replace.

Carefully inspect the drum for retaining screws. If they are present, use a screwdriver to remove them. The drum should slide off; if it’s stuck due to corrosion or dirt, gently tap it with a hammer or use a drum puller to remove it.
