How to Solve Drum Brake Lock-Up in Cars?
1 Answers
Step on the accelerator hard; as long as the rear wheels move, it will be fine. Remove the tire and tap the brake drum a couple of times with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake shoes. If the vehicle is parked for an extended period, the internal surface of the rear brake drum and the brake shoes can rust, leading to lock-up of the car's brake shoes.
