How to service and repair the brake drum on Mercury Mariner?

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.

Mercury Brake Drum transforms pedal force into constant stopping force to maintain calm and controlled wheels. Mercury had started a launch in 1938 and became a badge that was fast-fashioned and a ride that did not need any spinal column to move but allowed the family to travel on long roads without any shaky nerves. During its tenure, Mercury struck a balance between quick acceleration and smooth suspension, spacious cabins, heavy insulation, power steering, and prices that remained affordable despite gradual improvements toward comfort technology. Showrooms have always been full of Cougars and Grand Marquis sedans, yet the slogan behind each grille remained the same: easy control wrapped in eye-catching sheet metal, neither stodgy nor flimsy. Although production was discontinued in 2011, Mercury continues to offer an indication of a sweet spot between feel and price to the drivers who seek everyday calm without the fuss. The forged cast iron makes the Brake Drum run high in heat flow and hard to wear out, thus repeated stops never cook it, warp wheels, or allow wear to creep into it on mountain downhills. When the shoes are pressed outwards, even friction is achieved by the Brake Drum that retards the rotation of the axle, fixes the traction, and holds the vehicle in position in abrupt turns. Vibration is also eliminated by this Brake Drum, pedal vibration is cut, and that legendary smooth ride of rough streets is maintained in the cabin. Long service life signifies the Brake Drum remains on duty mile after mile without cunning decay or unexpected vibrations. The fact that it is so durable reflects the Mercury focus on simple engineering as opposed to hollow rhetoric.
