Brake drums

All I gotta say is, when I went to school vehicle BRAKES are spelled this way. Not breaks, like you are on lunch BREAK! Lol

 

I just figured he was saying break instead of broke, but didn't want to say broke because thats what his wallet is with all the bad luck he's been having.

 

CK. the inside of the drum where the brake shoes touch your brake drum to see if it looks like a curved frying pan on the part thats is still there because its worn past its wear limits, that will make the S/cams roll over to top of travel and you will feel like brakes are not stoping as well as when they were new?

 

Last company I worked for had a rash of brake drums fail on new trailers. They were not seating properly, then once the rims were installed the drum face was forced to flex and breaking the face out , then the rest was just walk in toward the airbags. Always fun taking brand new stuff apart to make sure it was put together correctly! They had to "inspect" 300 trailers.

 

About 25 years ago was having a brake job done on my KW. Bought new drums, shoes, cams, etc. from KW dealer, they loaded in back of my pick-up.I drove to the shop where work was being done, unloaded parts and never looked at them. When mechanic was installing new drums, he noticed one was cracked, and I mean a good crack all the way through the drum, coming from a bolt hole. Took it back to KW, they called somebody at the National parts level, and he said that was not the first he had heard of that, give me another one to replace the one that broke.I remember they did say they were made over seas

 

Nobody took the time to measure the inside diameter since no mention of it.
Company trailer - they were probably smoked a few times too. Red hot drums have the molecular structure of the iron changed.

Grammar does matter.
'My truck breaks are week.'
Did I just say the stopping distance of my rig is questionable or I park the truck at home for 7 days?
See what I mean?
And if you ask Grampa, Gramma does matter!
