Had to dig out the old drum brake tools for my new-to-me 2004. Haven't done drums in quite a while! I've only had the truck for a week, but it had started to feel like the rear was locking up, it began to make noise while backing up and the right side was getting warm. LOL, maybe this was why?
I use the parking brake but most do not, and I suspect it had never been used at all. Given the rust it was sticking on. However, the left side was much cleaner, and had been lubed at one time. Who does brakes on one side? Brakes feel good now. Had to drag out the work lights, but got it done - just in time for the snow storm. It was that or it would have sat for a week before I could work on it.
