Overview of the Drum Brake System

The DVD begins with a comprehensive explanation of how drum brakes work and their key role in a vehicle’s braking system. It introduces the viewer to the anatomy of the brake system, focusing on the brake drums and brake shoes, which work together to create the friction needed to slow down and stop a vehicle. Unlike disc brakes, drum brakes use a cylindrical drum attach to the wheel and a set of curve brake shoes that press against the inner surface of the drum when the brake is apply.

In-Depth Breakdown of Components

The DVD goes on to describe the individual components in detail. Brake drums are typically make of cast iron and are design to withstand high temperatures and friction forces. Brake shoes, on the other hand, are compose of a metal frame with a friction material bonded to the outside, responsible for making contact with the drum. The DVD highlights the material composition, wear patterns, and inspection methods for determining whether these parts need replacing or servicing.

Step-by-Step Repair and Replacement Instructions
