How to service and repair the brake drum on Ford Focus?

The brake drum maintenance process starts with emptying the parking brake before removing the wheel combined with its tire. The service and repair procedure for brake drums needs vehicle owners to disconnect rear wheel speed sensors on vehicles with anti-lock brakes. After brake drum along with wheel spindle assembly separation the installer must check all mating surfaces for foreign components and dirt. Running through the reverse set of steps will allow you to install the brake drum correctly. This procedure serves to access brake components yet does not involve new brake drum installation where removing the wheel hub becomes necessary.

How should asbestos fiber dust be handled when servicing the brake drum on Ford Ranger?

All repair operations on brake drums need special attention to asbestos fiber dust since inhaling this substance leads to health threats. Use a specific vacuum cleaner for asbestos fibers which can be either a Brake/Clutch/Service Vacuum or its equivalent to clean brake and clutch assemblies following OSHA procedures by labeling the bag properly then sealing it before notifying the trash hauler about the asbestos contents. Technicians must use government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators when dust generation becomes possible unless vacuum cleaning is feasible. The area producing asbestos dust needs to be confined with warning labels so only brake and clutch repair specialists can access that zone. A vehicle is unstable during braking so technicians must install fresh brake shoes and lining across both rear axle ends when the parking brake control is free from tension. The first step involves taking off the wheel combined with tire unit. Completely avoid the use of both brake drum pullers and torches to prevent any brake drum distortions. To remove a rusted brake drum that resists separation from the axle shaft pilot diameter technicians should use tapping between wheel studs at the center of the drum. Start by discarding the spring nut before pulling out the brake drum from the axle shaft. Users should apply the Brake Adjustment Tool on the screw nut while using a screwdriver to move the brake shoe adjusting lever off the brake adjuster screw. The users should then loosen the screw nut. A Brake Drum Micrometer should measure the inside diameter of the drum followed by new drum purchase when the maximum reading exceeds the specification on the drum. The termination of the installation requires performing the removal process in reverse order.
