Is this even possible? Well it's more of a sqeek when they are good and warmed up with some pulse and the sqeek sounds as if it's hitting some high spots on the drum. When I first got the truck I did pull the drums off and the shoes looked new and the drums appeared to be in good shape but I could'nt tell if they were warped just by looking at them. Has anyone else had this?
I have'nt tried that, I'll do that this morning before I pull it into the garage and pull the tires and drums for further inspection, if I'm that far I may just go and get new shoes, spring kit and drums and be done with it. I've never had rear drums sqeek like this before, really wish I had rear disk breaks.
I tried that today and all I got was a pretty good sqeek (this is before I took off the drums), so I took off the tires and drums and cleaned all the dust from everything to find that the shoes looked ok, but not the best quality shoe out there and the drums had a nice shine to them with some wear lines so I put everything back together only to have a noticible sqeek. I ordered new shoes and drums and I'll install tomorrow. I did notice that the shoes are held in place by a large 3/4 circle looking bracket, whats the trick to removing this?, because this will be the first time I've came across one of these.
Well I got the rear brake job done and I bought the special spring release tool that worked pretty good, it clamps to the hub and pulls the spring kind of in two ways to release it and you can also use it to install the spring, all in all the job went well and the brakes are quiet now
