OEM 2000 GMC Jimmy Brake Drum

2000 GMC Jimmy Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake drum using the J 41013 Resurfacing Kit on 2000 GMC Jimmy?

  A: Use the J 41013 Resurfacing Kit (or an equivalent product) to clean rust off the brake drum flange during service and repairs. You should refinish the brake drum when its surface has deep corrosion layers or it produces vibration during braking because of poor shape. Use a micrometer to check the brake drum diameter's largest size and replace the drum when it passes above the refinish limits. Perform 120 grit sanding on the brake drum to produce an uncontrollable braking surface. End the process by cleaning both braking surfaces with approved GM part number 12377981 brake parts cleaner. You should only perform brake refinishing to solve brake issues and never use it to fix visual problems or brake pad damage. Otherwise, your vehicle might become harder to stop.
