How to Solve the Problem of Truck Brake Locking?
1 Answers
Truck brake locking solutions: 1. Force start, increase throttle until the rear wheels move; 2. Remove the tire, use a hammer or similar tool to tap the brake drum a couple of times to loosen the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake pads. Reasons for truck brake locking: 1. Water ingress in the braking system; 2. Insufficient stiffness of the brake disc; 3. Improper fit of the brake pads. Methods to prevent truck brake locking: 1. After washing the car or when the brake drum gets wet in the rain, do not park immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes a few times to allow the moisture to evaporate, or when parking, do not use the handbrake. For manual transmissions, engage first gear, and for automatic transmissions, engage P gear; 2. Apply intermittent braking instead of slamming the brakes all the way, which not only wears out the tires but also makes it harder to stop.
