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

You must remove the wheel together with its tire before conducting brake drum maintenance. A brake drum puller together with a torch tool should never be used because they may produce unintended brake drum distortion. To separate a brake drum that resists movement from the wheel hub pilot diameter it is necessary to tap the drum's center between wheel studs. To prevent brake drum binding with the brake shoes professionals should adjust the shoes by moving the lever at the adjuster toward the retainer gear and rotating the screw upward. The brake shoes should be retracted before removing the brake drum. The first step of installation begins with using the Brake Drum Gauge to check the inside diameter of the brake drum. Install a new brake drum if this measurement exceeds the stamped specification on the outer face. First adjust the rear brakes according to requirements before setting the brake drum back onto the vehicle and reinstalling the tire and wheel.
